Vanishing Matter and the Laws of Motion

Descartes and Beyond

Herausgeber: Anstey, Peter; Jalobeanu, Dana

Beschreibung

This volume explores the themes of vanishing matter, matter and the laws of nature, the qualities of matter, and the diversity of the debates about matter in the early modern period. Chapters are unified by a number of interlocking themes which together enable some of the broader contours of the philosophy of matter to be charted in new ways.
