It also publishes papers on thinkers or movements outside that framework (and including Kant), as long as they are important for illuminating early modern thought. The core of the subject matter is, of course, philosophy and its history. But the volume’s papers reflect thefact thatphilosophyin this periodwas much broaderin its scope than it is now taken to be, and included a great deal of what currently belongs to the natural sciences. Furthermore, philosophy in the period was closely connected with other disciplines, such as theology, and with larger questions of social, political, and religious history.Whilemaintainingafocusonphilosophy,thevolumeincludes articlesthatexaminethelargerintellectual,social,andpoliticalcontext of early modern philosophy. While the articles in the volume are of importance to specialists in the various subfields of the discipline, our aim is to publish essays that appeal not only to scholars of one particularfigureoranother,buttothelargeraudienceofphilosophers, intellectualhistorians,andotherswhoareinterestedintheperiod.
