Abstract

Abstract:This essay argues that Thomas Stanley's magisterial History of Philosophy influenced the evolution of Margaret Cavendish's thought in ways that have not been previously recognized. While scholars have discussed Cavendish's evolving views of atomism and materialism, a comparison of her attitudes toward Pythagoras and toward skepticism before and after 1660 suggests that Cavendish adopted a more nuanced approach to skepticism—and to philosophical debate and dissent more generally—after encountering Stanley's work. Her reading of Sextus Empiricus's Outlines of Pyrrhonism in Stanley's 1660 volume may also have informed her vigorous epistolary exchanges with Joseph Glanvill on the subject of witchcraft.

托马斯·斯坦利哲学史对玛格丽特·卡文迪什的影响
摘要:本文认为,托马斯·斯坦利权威的《哲学史》以前所未有的方式影响了玛格丽特·卡文迪许思想的演变。虽然学者们讨论了卡文迪许对原子论和唯物主义的不断发展的观点,但比较她在1660年前后对毕达哥拉斯和怀疑论的态度表明,卡文迪什在遇到斯坦利的作品后,对怀疑论采取了更微妙的方法,对更普遍的哲学辩论和异议采取了更细致的方法。她在斯坦利1660年的卷中阅读了Sextus Empiricus的《Pyrronism大纲》,这可能也为她与Joseph Glanvill就巫术问题进行了激烈的书信交流提供了信息。
