Abstract

Various early modern philosophers contested the nature, dignity, and powers of the oyster, including Montaigne, Cavendish, Locke, Hume, Reid, and Lichtenberg. This paper presents a conspectus of the debate. The author—who sometimes seems to get the wrong end of the stick—documents the major texts and advances an interpretation of the main lines of controversy.
