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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables  Abbreviations    Introduction   Davide Cellamare and Mattia Mantovani    1 Descartes and the Classroom   Theo Verbeek    2 The Philosophical Fulcrum of Seventeenth-Century Leiden: Pedagogical Innovation and Philosophical Novelty in Adriaan Heereboord   Howard Hotson    3 Teaching Cartesian Philosophy in Leiden: Adriaan Heereboord (1613–1661) and Johannes De Raey (1622–1702)   Antonella Del Prete    4 Reassessing Johannes De Raey’s Aristotelian-Cartesian Synthesis: The Copenhagen Manuscript Annotata in Principia philosophica (1658)   Domenico Collacciani    5 “Let Descartes Speak Dutch”: Spinoza’s Circle Teaching Cartesianism   Henri Krop    6 Patronage as a Means to End a University Controversy: The Conclusion of Two Cartesian Disputes at Frankfurt an der Oder (1656 and 1660)   Pietro Daniel Omodeo    7 Cartesian and Anti-Cartesian Disputations and Corollaries at Utrecht University, 1650–1670   Erik-Jan Bos    8 Between Descartes and Boyle: Burchard de Volder’s Experimental Lectures at Leiden, 1676–1678   Andrea Strazzoni    9 Medicine and the Mind in the Teaching of Theodoor Craanen (1633–1688)   Davide Cellamare    10 Cartesius Triumphatus: Gerard de Vries and Opposing Descartes at the University of Utrecht   Daniel Garber    11 Debating Cartesian Philosophy on Both Sides of the Channel: Johannes Schuler’s (1619–1674) Plea for libertas philosophandi   Igor Agostini    12 Descartes by Letter—Teaching Cartesianism in Mid-Seventeenth-Century Cambridge: Henry More, Thomas Clarke and Anne Conway   Sarah Hutton    13 Teaching Descartes’s Ethics in London and Cambridge   Roger Ariew    14 Teaching Magnetism in a Cartesian World, 1650–1700   Christoph Sander    15 The Anatomy of a Condemnation: Descartes’s Theory of Perception and the Louvain Affair, 1637–1671   Mattia Mantovani    16 Descartes’s Theory of Tides in the Louvain Classroom, 1670–1760   Carla Rita Palmerino    17 Traces of the Port-Royal Logic in the Louvain Logic Curricula   Steven Coesemans    18 Cartesianism and the Education of Women   Marie-Frédérique Pellegrin    19 Rohault’s Private Lessons on Cosmology   Mihnea Dobre    20 French Cartesianisms in the 1690s: The Textbooks of Regis and Pourchot   Tad M.
