Personal Statement
I am interested in the relationship between natural philosophy and religion in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and in the evolution of that relationship from the Reformation through the Enlightenment. So far I have focused on the revival of philosophical skepticism, the rise and fall of Cartesianism in France and the dissemination of Newtonian thought in France. I am also interested in the evolution of economic thought from the eighteenth to the twentieth century.
