This book is about the influence of varying theological conceptions of contingency and necessity on two versions of the mechanical philosophy in the seventeenth century. Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655) and René Descartes (1596-1650) both believed that all natural phenomena could be explained in terms of matter and motion alone. They disagreed about the details of their mechanical accounts of the world, in particular about their theories of matter and their approaches to scientific method. This book traces their differences back to theological presuppositions they inherited from the Middle Ages. Theological ideas were transformed into philosophical and scientific ideas which led to the emergence of different styles of science in the second half of the seventeenth century.

Difficile à lire, connu de réputation pour ses objections aux Méditations de Descartes, sa réhabilitation d’Épicure et des atomes, voire le caractère ambigu de ses relations avec les “libertins”, Pierre Gassendi est un personnage un peu flou dans notre galerie de portraits imaginaire. Il fut cependant un auteur important, lu, connu, approuvé ou critiqué dans toute l’Europe, surtout par les savants qui voulaient fonder efficacement leur physique moderne sans renier pour autant les acquis des anciens. Les études réunies ici ont cherché comme la trace et le reflet de l’œuvre de Gassendi dans les écrits d’autres auteurs qui ont vécu de son temps et jusqu’à la fin des Lumières – non seulement en France –, mais aussi en Angleterre (comme Walter Charleton, John Locke, David Hume ou Robert Boyle), en Hollande (professeurs d’Université), en Allemagne (Leibniz), en Pologne (Sociniens et “libertins”), en Italie du Nord (comme le jésuite milanais Thommaso Ceva), en Italie du Sud (comme le fondateur de l’Accademia degli Investiganti Tommaso Cornelio ou Giambattista Vico), en Espagne enfin (comme le médecin Martínez). Aujourd’hui encore Gassendi fait des adeptes parmi ceux que séduisent les chemins non battus de l’effort gratuit et de l’érudition austère, ceux que ravit absolument une certaine esthétique baroque de l’esprit pur.
