दार्शनिक संग्रह (Syntagma philosophicum)

परिचय

The Syntagma philosophicum fills the first two volumes of Gassendi’s Opera omnia, published in Lyon in 1658, three years after his death. Its three parts follow the Epicurean division of philosophy. The logic teaches how to reach probable knowledge from the senses; the much longer physics presents atoms and void, motion, the heavens, living things and the soul, correcting Epicurus where he contradicts Christian teaching – God creates the atoms and gives them motion, providence governs the world, and the rational soul is immortal. The ethics makes tranquillity of mind and freedom from pain the goal of life. Through François Bernier’s French abridgement (1674–1678) the work became the main channel through which Epicurean atomism entered the natural philosophy of the late seventeenth century.
