It also publishes papers on thinkers or movements outside that framework (and including Kant), as long as they are important for illuminatingearlymodernthought.Thecoreofthesubjectmatteris, of course, philosophy and its history. But the volume’s papers reflect the fact that philosophy in this period was much broader in its scope thanitisnowtakentobe,andincludedagreatdealofwhatcurrently belongstothenaturalsciences.Furthermore,philosophyintheperiod was closely connected with other disciplines, such as theology, and with larger questions of social, political, and religious history. While maintaining a focus on philosophy, the volume includes articles that examine the larger intellectual, social, and political context of early modern philosophy. While the articles in the volume are of import- ancetospecialistsinthevarioussubfieldsofthediscipline,ouraimisto publish essays that appeal not only to scholars of one particular figure or another, but to the larger audience of philosophers, intellectual historians,andotherswhoareinterestedintheperiod.
