Series edited by the Research Centre for the Foundations of Modern Thought, University of Bucharest
Ce livre sort d’une réflexion constante au sujet de la dimension religieuse au XVIIe siècle, du rôle de la théologie dans la formation des concepts philosophiques modernes et de la part du spirituel dans la littérature européenne de cette époque. Pour les individus de cette époque, penser signifie se mouvoir dans l’univers des idées. La progression dans cet univers a des propriétés radicalement différentes de la progression dans l’univers de la vie, c’est-à-dire de la temporalité vécue. L’un des critères les plus manifestes est le fait que, à l’intérieur de l’univers des idées on peut à tout moment revenir en arrière, alors que dans le régime temporel de l’univers extérieur on est toujours situé. Une autre propriété qui distingue le régime des idées est le fait que commencer à penser signifie d’abord, pour certains philosophes du moins, jeter les bases d’un nouveau mode de comprendre le monde, dont la différence par rapport aux autres modes s’affirme dès l’origine. L’univers des idées, pour autant que nous l’entreprenons de manière différente, est ce qui nous distingue parmi nos semblables. Dans cette perspective, commencer à penser veut dire commencer à être, où, par un raccourci qui n’enlève rien à l’idée, être soi-même.
Regimens of the Mind
BOYLE, LOCKE, AND THE EARLY MODERN CULTURA ANIMI TRADITION
In Regimens of the Mind, Sorana Corneanu proposes a new approach to the epistemological and methodological doctrines of the leading experimental philosophers of seventeenth-century England, an approach that considers their often overlooked moral, psychological, and theological elements. Corneanu focuses on the views about the pursuit of knowledge in the writings of Robert Boyle and John
Locke, as well as in those of several of their influences, including Francis Bacon and the early Royal Society virtuosi. She argues that their experimental programs of inquiry fulfill the role of regimens for curing, ordering, and educating the mind toward an ethical purpose, an idea she tracks back to the ancient tradition of cultura animi. Corneanu traces this idea through its early modern revival and illustrates how it organizes the experimental philosophers’ reflections on the discipline of judgment, the study of nature, and the study of Scripture. It is through this lens, the author suggests, that the core features of the early modern English experimental philosophy—including its defense of experience, its epistemic modesty, its communal nature, and its pursuit of “objectivity”—are best understood.

The FME Series in early modern thought is dedicated foremost toscholarly studies in the history of early modern philosophy, covering a periodranging from the end of the Renaissance era (16th century) to thefirst part of the 17th century. As the history of philosophy becomesmore and more contextualized, the series is opened also to fields such as intellectual history, history and philosophy of science, late medieval studiesor the history of art, in the spirit of a cross-disciplinary enquiry into the foundingelements of the European modern consciousness.
Publishing author books, monographs or collection ofarticles, and edited volumes resulting from various academic events, the seriesbenefits from the strong support of an international board of well-knownscholars in the field of early modern studies. It is edited by a team of youngand senior scholars gathered by the Research Centre for the Foundations ofModern Thought of the University of Bucharest. We are welcoming works of young as well assenior scholars, focused studies or general monographs, written in one of theinternational academic-working languages.
The motivating spirit of the Series lies in its effort tostrengthen the communication between Romanian and foreign scholars and to bringthe discipline in the frontlines of the Romanian intellectual awareness today.
