| Zusammenfassung: | Scholars in the early seventeenth century who studied ancient Greek scientific theories often drew upon philology and history to reconstruct a more general picture of the Greek past. Gassendi's training as a humanist historiographer enabled him to formulate a conception of the history of philosophy in which the rationality of scientific and philosophical inquiry depended on the historical justifications which he developed for his beliefs. Professor Joy examines this conception and analyzes the nature of Gassendi's historical training, especially its relationship to his career as a physicist and astronomer. She shows how he rehabilitated Epicurean atomism by bringing together the arguments of the Greek atomists and those of his contemporaries. In doing so, he produced an account of the natural world which made it an object of empirical study and mechanical explanation |

Professor Joy examines this conception and analyzes the nature of Gassendi's historical training, especially its relationship to his career as a physicist and astronomer. She shows how he rehabilitated Epicurean atomism by bringing together the arguments of the Greek atomists and those of his contemporaries. In doing so, he produced an account of the natural world which made it an object of empirical study and mechanical explanation Gassendi, Pierre / 1592-1655 Gassendi, Pierre 1592-1655 (DE-588)118537695 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Naturwissenschaft Atomic theory / History Science / History Philosophy, Ancient Atomic theory / Historiography Atomistik (DE-588)4143327-0 gnd rswk-swf Atomtheorie (DE-588)4143338-5 gnd rswk-swf Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 gnd rswk-swf Gassendi, Pierre 1592-1655 (DE-588)118537695 p Philosophie (DE-588)4045791-6 s 1\p DE-604 Atomtheorie (DE-588)4143338-5 s 2\p DE-604 Atomistik (DE-588)4143327-0 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-30142-8 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-52239-7 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511521416 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
