Abstract

This introductory chapter discusses the theme of this book, which is about the state, nature, and practices related to British philosophy in the seventeenth century. The book is divided into five parts dealing with the philosophy of nature, the study of knowledge and human understanding, moral philosophy, political philosophy, and the works of leading seventeenth-century philosophers, including Francis Bacon, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton, and Thomas Hobbes. The chapter also discusses key developments in modern philosophy during this period, which include heightened historiographical awareness and the reassessment of the philosophical canon.
