In \u003ci\u003eCavendish\u003c\/i\u003e, Alison Peterman provides a systematic reading of Cavendishâs natural philosophy. While highlighting interpretations of Cavendish that present her as an anthropomorphic thinker, Peterman advocates instead for reading Cavendish in light of her naturalism, materialism, and anti-anthropocentrism, explaining how these themes ramify in Cavendishâs metaphysics, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and method. \u003ci\u003eCavendish\u003c\/i\u003e articulates and explains what is novel and heterodox in Cavendishâs views, and also examines her philosophical engagement with other seventeenth-century thinkers like Hobbes, Boyle, Descartes, and Hooke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn outstanding introduction for newcomers to Cavendish,\u003ci\u003e Cavendish\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for students and scholars of Cavendish as well as those taking courses in seventeenth-century philosophy, metaphysics, history of science, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophical methodology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017982181719,"sku":"9780367619558","price":25.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780367619558.jpg?v=1750775265","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/cavendish-9780367619558","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
