Insiders and Outsiders in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy

Seventeenth-century philosophy scholars come together in this volume to address the Insiders--Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, and Hobbes--and Outsiders--Gassendi, Digby, Gale, Cudworth and Malebranche--of the philosocial canon. Contrasting the Insiders receptions with those of the Outsiders, this collection gives new insight into the history of philosophy.
