The Philosophy of Kenelm Digby (1603-1665) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783030998219)

Laura Georgescu works in the Department of History of Philosophy at the University of Groningen. She works mainly on early modern natural philosophy and its intersections with metaphysics and epistemology, and has additional research interests in history and philosophy of science. She has published articles on non-canonical natural philosophers, such as William Gilbert and Margaret Cavendish. Currently, she is working on a monograph dedicated to showing how Digby framed his natural philosophy in response to the competing Galilean and Cartesian alternatives.

Han Thomas Adriaenssen works on late medieval and early modern philosophy. His first book, Representation and Scepticism from Aquinas to Descartes (Cambridge University Press 2017), looks at theories of cognition and representation in late medieval and early modern thought. It explores the way in which indirect realism was seen as a skeptical threat by late medieval and early modern authors alike. He has published several papers on early modern thinkers such as Kenelm Digby, Thomas White and John Sergeant, who tried to reconcile Aristotelian ideas with the new philosophy of the seventeenth century. He is currently working on theories of individuation and bodily identity over time in late medieval and early modern thought.
