This volume investigates the contribution of the major thinkers of the Minims to the emergence of new forms and styles of thought in early modern philosophy and science.

Motivated by multifaceted interests, some of them even different, Mersenne, Niceron and Maignan with their respective works bear significant witness to the intellectual life of a religious Order that, born in the spirit of a renewal that was above all ascetic and spiritual in character, was nevertheless by no means foreign to the cultural climate of the 17th century and, on the contrary, was fully involved in some of its most vivid questions.

Essays by: Jean-Robert Armogathe, Domenico Bosco, Claudio Buccolini, Agostino De Rosa, Leonardo Messinese, Luca Parisoli.

This volume investigates the historical, conceptual and lexical evolution of ontology in the context of German-speaking Protestant and Reformed scholasticism (Schulmetaphysik) in the years following the publication of the Elementa Philosophiae sive Ontosophia (1647) by the Calvinist Johannes Clauberg (1622-1665). The work, reissued in 1660 and 1664, is one of the most systematic treatises on ontology of the time.

This study, starting from the current framework of our knowledge of the first phase in the history of ontology – from the coining of the term in 1606 to the publication of the Elementa Philosophia sive Ontosophia in 1647 – aims to investigate the ‘second half’ of this history, i.e. the years following the reception and dissemination of Claubergian works in the context of Schulmetaphysik, and ranging roughly from the 1660s to the end of the century, without excluding the first decade of the 18th century, in which a number of significant events took place: Lange’s Dissertatio academica, focusing on the outcomes of ontology, and Ott’s Brevis Epitome Praeceptorum Scientiae Metaphysicae, the last work belonging to the Claubergian tradition, were published in 1708. Beyond this timespan, it is already possible to glimpse the context inspired by the new instances of the Frühaufklärung, with the role of Wolff, one of its most important exponents, intent on dialoguing with the late Schulmetaphysik.

From the Early Years to the Discourse on Method, 1619-1638

Roger Ariew and Erik-Jan Bos

René Descartes: The Complete Correspondence in English Translation is the first complete English translation of the extant correspondence of the polymath René Descartes, who excelled in all areas of philosophy, the sciences, and mathematics. The translation is based on the best available editions, modified by several other sources. It is accompanied by an editorial apparatus consisting of cross-references and brief biographies of the correspondents. Descartes’ correspondence elaborates his views, providing a crucial resource for students, teachers, and scholars in philosophy, history of philosophy, and history of science and mathematics.

Volume I presents correspondence from the period 1619 to 1638. The letters begin with exchanges between Descartes and the physico-mathematician Isaac Beeckman, the essayist Guez de Balzac, the lens maker Jean Ferrier, and Descartes’ future primary correspondent Marin Mersenne. It includes letters to high ranking Oratorians. One can also see the beginnings of Descartes’ relations with Constantijn Huygens, who will be Descartes’ other chief correspondent. One can also trace the developments of Descartes’ early unpublished works on metaphysics, physics, and human biology, together with his reaction to the condemnation of Galileo by the Catholic Church. The letters show developments in Descartes’ construction and publication of the Discourse on Method, together with the essays Dioptrics, Meteors, and Geometry. This results in an explosion of letters from and to various critics such as the professor of medicine Vopiscus Fortunatus Plemp, the astrologer Jean Baptiste Morin, the mathematicians Pierre Petit, Gilles Personne de Roberval, Pierre de Fermat, and many others.

The volume offers the first large-scale study of the teaching of Descartes’s philosophy in the early modern age. Its twenty chapters explore the clash between Descartes’s “new” philosophy and the established pedagogical practices and institutional concerns, as well as the various strategies employed by Descartes’s supporters in order to communicate his ideas to their students. The volume considers a vast array of topics, sources, and institutions, across the borders of countries and confessions, both within and without the university setting (public conferences, private tutorials, distance learning by letter) and enables us thereby to reconsider from a fresh perspective the history of early modern philosophy and education.

Davide Cellamare, Ph.D. (2015), Radboud University Nijmegen, is FWO Senior-Postdoc at KU Leuven. He has published numerous articles on late medieval and early modern psychology (with a special focus on the institutional and confessional contexts), as well as on Cartesianism.

Mattia Mantovani, Ph.D. (2018), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, is FWO Junior-Postdoc at KU Leuven. He has published numerous articles on medieval and early modern epistemology and perception theory – with a special focus on Descartes – and on the role of diagrams in science.
