초록

Puritanism has often been strongly associated with the rise of modern science and philosophy. This essay provides evidence to the contrary that, at least during the period 1660-1680, several Puritans remained largely hostile to the “new philosophy” associated with René Descartes and Pierre Gassendi. An examination of select writings of the period from Richard Baxter, Robert Ferguson, and Samuel Gott demonstrates the prevalence of suspicion and critique of new philosophy among Puritans until at least 1680. After discussing the general relation of Puritanism to seventeenth-century philosophical transition, this essay highlights some common themes uniting the works of Baxter, Ferguson, and Gott. These three promote philosophical eclecticism, interpret the rise of problematic new philosophical concepts as a revival of ancient errors, and raise specific objections regarding theologically problematic implications of new philosophy.

Abstract

Puritanism has often been strongly associated with the rise of modern science and philosophy. This essay provides evidence to the contrary that, at least during the period 1660-1680, several Puritans remained largely hostile to the “new philosophy” associated with René Descartes and Pierre Gassendi. An examination of select writings of the period from Richard Baxter, Robert Ferguson, and Samuel Gott demonstrates the prevalence of suspicion and critique of new philosophy among Puritans until at least 1680. After discussing the general relation of Puritanism to seventeenth-century philosophical transition, this essay highlights some common themes uniting the works of Baxter, Ferguson, and Gott. These three promote philosophical eclecticism, interpret the rise of problematic new philosophical concepts as a revival of ancient errors, and raise specific objections regarding theologically problematic implications of new philosophy.
