This volume explores the relevance, richness, and influence of empiricism in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European philosophy. It features original essays from leading scholars of early modern empiricism.Early modern philosophy is often divided into the categories of Continental Rationalism and British Empiricism. This volume contends that there is a rich tradition of empiricism in early modern continental Europe. Each chapter provides a case study from the 16th- and 17th-century history of philosophy. These studies range from epistemology to natural philosophy and from the history of scientific institutions to experimental philosophy. The chapters complement historical analyses with methodological and historiographical reflections on notions traditionally associated with empiricism.Continental Empiricism will appeal to scholars and graduate students working in the history of early modern philosophy and the history of science.
