Dutch Cartesianism and the Birth of Philosophy of Science - Andrea Strazzoni - Bog

This book explores the ways in which metaphysics and logic assumed the function of a philosophy of science in the early modern era. It does so by offering an analysis of the reception of the philosophy of Descartes in the Dutch universities and takes into account the ways in which the disciplines of logic and metaphysics became functional to the justification and reflection on the conceptual premises and the methods of natural philosophy.
