The Impact of Protestant Philosophy on the Seventeenth Century

Helen aub: What the broader impact and relevance of protestant philosophy is for the seventeenth century, just looking ahead. I think it sometimes difficult to draw very precise causal connections. You know, at protestant thinking creates these spaces where it frees philosophers to think beyond the standard aristotelian or existing positions on things like space or place. And so i think there's a lot more research to be done, but my sense is that the kind of philosophical developments that were seen in the sixteenth century in protestant philosophy and scholasticism set up a framework that you find in canonical, early modern philosophers.
