This Is The First Book To Explore The Ethical Thought Of Pierre Gassendi, The Seventeenthcentury French Priest Who Rehabilitated Epicurean Philosophy In The Western Tradition. Lisa T. Sarasohn'S Discussion Of The Relationship Between Gassendi'S Philosophy Of Nature And His Ethics Discloses The Underlying Unity Of His Philosophy And Elucidates This Critical Figure In The Intellectual Revolution.Sarasohn Demonstrates That Gassendi'S Ethics Was An Important Part Of His Attempt To Christianize Epicureanism. She Shows How Gassendi Integrated Ideas Of Human Freedom Into A Neoepicurean Ethic Where Pleasure Is The Highest Good, Yet Maintained A Consistent Belief In Christian Providence. These Views Challenged What Were Then The New Systems Of Philosophy, Hobbesian Materialism And Cartesian Rationalism. Sarasohn Places Gassendi In His Historical And Intellectual Context, Considering Him In Relation To Contemporary Philosophers And Within The Patronage System That Conditioned His Own Freedom. She Investigates The Links Between His Ethical Thought And Philosophy Of Science And Makes Sense Of His Attacks On Astrology. Finally, Her Work Clarifies Pierre Gassendi'S Considerable Influence On Seventeenthcentury Ethical And Political Philosophy, Particularly On The Work Of John Lockeand Thus On The Whole English Liberal Tradition In Political Philosophy.
