ISBN: 9780521776752.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret Cavendishs Observations upon Experimental Philosophy holds a unique position in early modern philosophy. Cavendish rejects the picture of nature as a grand machine that was propounded by Hobbes and Descartes; she also rejects the alternative views of nature that make reference to immaterial spirits. Instead she develops an original system of organicist materialism, and draws on the doctrines of ancient Stoicism to attack the tenets of seventeenth-century mechanical philosophy. Her treatise is a document of major importance in the history of womens contributions to philosophy and science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958210326581,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521776759","price":52.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521776752_ba34fd32-a845-4e70-83f1-17f817629336.jpg?v=1778860846","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/margaret-cavendish-observations-upon-experimental-philosophy-cambridge-texts-in-the-history-of-philosophy-9780521776752","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
