This edition aims to make Margaret Cavendish’s most mature philosophical work more accessible to students and scholars of the period. Grounds of Natural Philosophy is important not only because it is Cavendish’s final articulation of her metaphysics but also because it succinctly outlines her fundamental views on “the nature of nature”—or the base substance and mechanics of all natural matter—and vividly demonstrates her probabilistic approach to philosophical enquiry. Moreover, Grounds spends considerable time discussing the human body, including the functions of the mind, a topic of growing interest to both historians of philosophy and literary scholars. This Broadview Edition opens to modern readers a vibrant, unique, and provocative voice of the past that challenges our standard view of seventeenth-century English philosophy.

Excerpt from A Compendium of Natural Philosophy: Adapted to the Use of the General Reader, and of Schools and Academies The writer, while he has studied plainness and perspicuity, has not deemed it either necessary or expedient, to expound the doctrines of Phi losophy in a juvenile, not to say puerile, style, with the view of making it more intelligible or more attractive to young minds. Such a style he believes to be no more intelligible than the ordinary style of philosophical writing; and he would desire the youngest student of philosophy to receive the impression, that the study owes its attractions to its own inherent dignity and utility, -to the elevation of its truths, and to their great prae tical importance. The elevated course of study adopted in some of our schools, both male and female, requires a corresponding improvement in the books prepared for their use. In many of these seminaries, it is hoped that there will be pupils sufficiently advanced in mathematics, to read the more elaborate works on Natural Philosophy; whrlea still larger proportion perhaps, will find the present treatise sufficiently extensive for their use. The numerous Voluntary Associations formed in various parts of our country, for philosophical inquiry, will, it is believed, find the present work well adapted to promote their objects; especially, on account of its numerous practical applications of the principles of science to the arts, and the purposes of life. Professional gentleman, also, and others of liberal education, will find this small treatise favorable for reviewing sub jects, which, in the course of their collegiate education, they may have studied in a more difficult form. They may, moreover, meet with some things here, which the progress of the science has brought to light, since the time when they were students in Philosophy.

Peter Anstey presents a thorough and innovative study of John Locke's views on the method and content of natural philosophy. Focusing on Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding, but also drawing extensively from his other writings and manuscript remains, Anstey argues that Locke was an advocate of the Experimental Philosophy: the new approach to natural philosophy championed by Robert Boyle and the early Royal Society who were opposed to speculative philosophy. On the question of method, Anstey shows how Locke's pessimism about the prospects for a demonstrative science of nature led him, in the Essay, to promote Francis Bacon's method of natural history, and to downplay the value of hypotheses and analogical reasoning in science. But, according to Anstey, Locke never abandoned the ideal of a demonstrative natural philosophy, for he believed that if we could discover the primary qualities of the tiny corpuscles that constitute material bodies, we could then establish a kind of corpuscular metric that would allow us a genuine science of nature. It was only after the publication of the Essay, however, that Locke came to realize that Newton's Principia provided a model for the role of demonstrative reasoning in science based on principles established upon observation, and this led him to make significant revisions to his views in the 1690s. On the content of Locke's natural philosophy, it is argued that even though Locke adhered to the Experimental Philosophy, he was not averse to speculation about the corpuscular nature of matter. Anstey takes us into new terrain and new interpretations of Locke's thought in his explorations of his mercurialist transmutational chymistry, his theory of generation by seminal principles, and his conventionalism about species.
