Chapter 1Introduction: Ideas of Space and Their Relation to Experience in Early Modern Philosophy

Berchielli, Laura

Pages: 1 –48

[This introduction has two aims. The first is to describe synthetically, for each author belonging to the tradition of classical empiricism, the main characteristics of his approach, the notion of space that results from it, and the place it occupies within his philosophy. The second is to show...

Chapter 2Hobbes on Space as Imaginary Space

Pécharman, Martine

Pages: 49 –78

[Hobbes’s first elaboration of his doctrine of space is directed against the traditional discussion of spatium imaginarium which Thomas White is indebted to in his De mundo dialogi tres (1642). Breaking with the scholastic mode of conceiving spatium imaginarium that considers it as an extracosmic...

Chapter 3Locke on Space and Substance

Bolton, Martha Brandt

Pages: 79 –93

[Locke’s Essay concerning Human Understanding defends the anti-Cartesian doctrine that infinite space independent of corporeal substance is real and penetrated by bodies, i.e. a body always occupies a commensurate part of space. But whereas Gassendi, Newton, and others who hold this sort of...

Chapter 4Spacious Minds and Spatial Spirits: John Locke on Space and Thought

Hamou, Philippe

Pages: 95 –115

[Spatial metaphors and spatial discourse about the mind and ideas abound in Locke’s Essay. This raises two related kinds of questions: first, whether and in what sense the mind is “in space”, has a location, and perhaps an extension? And second: how this ‘spatial mind’ is also ‘spacious’,...

Chapter 5Berkeley’s Theological Challenge of Absolute Space in the Principles of Human Knowledge

Peterschmitt, Luc

Pages: 117 –129

[In this article, I intend to examine the link between the refutation of absolute space and Berkeley’s apologetical aim. Section 117 of the Principles of Human Knowledge is crucial. I show that, in this section, Berkeley does not contend with drawing a consequence from his refutation. He gives a...

Chapter 6The Consequences of the Consequences of the Principles for the Theory of the Principles

Atherton, Margaret

Pages: 131 –141

[Berkeley’s philosophy of science is often assumed to be tangential to the theory laid out in the Principles, for which he is best known, and to be found instead only in minor works. It is undeniable however that Berkeley dedicates a large section of the Principles to a discussion of natural...

Chapter 7Berkeleian Instrumentalism: From Substance to Space

Schwartz, Robert

Pages: 143 –160

[The author argues that much of the debate over the status of instrumentalism in Berkeley’s philosophy can be clarified if one sees him as Pragmatic instrumentalist. Pragmatic instrumentalism is a constructivist account of inquiry, quite similar the views of the classic American Pragmatists on...

Chapter 8Berkeley’s Two Notions of Extension

Berchielli, Laura

Pages: 161 –186

[Berkeley’s theses on vision have been better accepted than those about the non-existence of matter. However, in spite of the success of his explanation of vision, his thesis on the non-existence of a visual space and the heterogeneity between ideas of sight and ideas of touch is far from having...

Chapter 9The Ideality of Space in Enlightenment Empiricism: The Idéologues’ Contribution

Schwartz, Elisabeth

Pages: 187 –218

[Last representatives of the French movement of ‘construction’ of space starting from unextended sensory elements, the idéologues played an important role in the movement of metaphysical construction of space in the mind. Succeeding Kant, they offer a sort of obscure and little-known alternative...
