‘Early modern experimental philosophy: a non-Anglocentric overview’, in Experiment, Speculation, and Religion in Early Modern Philosophy, ed. Peter Anstey and Alberto Vanzo (New York: Routledge, 2019). [PDF] [I had always hoped that one of the functions of this essay would be as a useful overview for students. But since the volume in which it appears is rather expensive and not always available even in libraries, and since it employs an unusual citation system that makes cross-referencing difficult, I am providing this final draft as a freely available download. However, I would ask that all citations of this essay in academic publications refer to the printed version, including specific page numbers].
