Clarke presents a thematic history of French philosophy from the middle of the sixteenth century to the beginning of Louis XIVs reign. While the traditional philosophy of the schools was taught throughout this period by authors who have faded into permanent obscurity, a whole generation of writers who were not professional philosopherssome of whom never even attended a school or collegeaddressed issues that were prominent in French public life. Clarke explores such topics as the novel political theory espoused by monarchomachs, such as Bze and Hotman, against Bodins account of absolute sovereignty; the scepticism of Montaigne, Charron, and Sanches; the ethical discussions of Du Vair, Gassendi, and Pascal; innovations in natural philosophy that were inspired by Mersenne and Descartes and implemened by members of the Académie royale des sciences; theories of the human mind from Jean de Silhon to Cureau de la Chambre and Descartes; and the novel arguments in support of womens education and equality that were launched by De Gournay, Du Bosc, Van Schurman and Poulain de la Barre. The writers involved were lawyers, political leaders, theologians, and independent scholars and they acknowledged, almost unanimously, the authority of the Bible as a source of knowledge that was claimed to be more reliable than the fragile powers of human understanding. Since they could not agree, however, on which books of the Bible were canonical or how that should be understood, their discussions raised questions about faith and reason that mirrored those involved in the infamous Galileo affair....4384096French Philosophy, 1572-1675572636https://www.gandhi.com.mx/french-philosophy--1572-1675-9780191066511/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4231500/983df65a-8c45-463d-a68a-8bff73cfc66f.jpg?v=638446531535700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook9780191066511_W3siaWQiOiIwOWM0ZGE1MC03MzY3LTRlNzItYTVjNS1kOTUzNmYwMzhhN2UiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjYxOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjYxLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjU1OCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780191066511_Desmond M.
