Abstract

Strazzoni presents, quite convincingly, a Newtonian philosophy that is still entangled by foundational concerns of the robust Cartesian context that came before 's Gravesande. In the third chapter, Strazzoni highlights a group of anti-Cartesians, with Jacob Revius as the primary antagonist, and the responses from De Raey and Clauberg. Strazzoni does point to Regius, who conspicuously leaves out much of Descartes's metaphysics, as a powerful counterexample, but holds him to be both an exception and the catalyst driving the shift to foundational concerns.
