Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... G > Pierre Gassendi A B C D ... Z Pierre Gassendi (GASSENDY, GASSEND.) Cardinal Richelieu Gassendi, "the Bacon of France", is specially note-worthy for his opposition to the Aristotelean philosophy, and for his revival of the Epicurean system. He wished the aprioristic methods then prevailing in the schools replaced by experimental proofs. His cosmology, psychology, and ethics are epicurean, except that he maintains the doctrine of the Creator and of Providence, and the spirituality and immortality of the soul. He thus attempts to build up a Christian philosophy upon Epicurusan inconsistency which is attacked by non-Christian, as well as Christian philosophers. His views on the constitution of matter and his merits in regard to modern kinetic atomism are explained by Lasswitz. That Gassendi was neither "the father of materialism" nor a sceptic in the proper sense is shown by Kiefi (see Baldwin, op. cit. below). He corresponded with Hobbes, Mersenne, Christina of Sweden, and engaged in controversy with Fludd, Herbert, and Descartes. That as an amateur astronomer, Gassendi was a persevering, attentive, and intelligent observer, is evident from his notebook carefully kept from 1618 until 1652 and filling over 400 pages. With a

Gassendi was Principal at the College of Digne from 1612 to 1614, then he received a doctorate in theology from Avignon and was ordained in 1615, one year later. He had already been appointed canon at a church in Digne in 1614. He held this post until 1634 when he was elevated to dean. Gassendi first met Mersenne in 1624 when he visited Paris. Mersenne tried to persuade him to give up mathematics and theology in favour of philosophy. Gassendi rejected Descartes ' philosophy, emphasising the inductive method. He believed in atomism and defended a mechanistic explanation of nature. Kepler had predicted a transit of Mercury would occur in 1631 and Gassendi was the first to observe such a transit. He wrote on astronomy, his own astronomical observations and on falling bodies.

Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655) There are three strands of Gassendi's philosophy which are quite notable. First, he was responsible for making atomism respectable in European intellectual circles of the 17th century. Atomism derived from Greek philosophers, was transmitted and modified by Lucretius and Epicurus. In the Epicurean form atomism was incompatible with Christianity. Gassenid made atomism respectable by modifying it so that it did not conflict with Christianity. Thus, instead of insisting on the eternity of atoms, Gassendi has God create the atoms. Connected with his efforts to make atomism respectable was his rejection of Aristotelianism. There was, from the Renaissance on, a revolt against Aristotelian philosophy. Many of the philosophers of the 17th century were part of this revolt. Aristotle had rejected atomism, and this gives Gassendi some reason to reject Aristotle. The conection between Aristotle and the Scholastic philosophy of the Middle Ages, which still dominated the universities in Gassendi's time, provided another reason for philosophers opposed to Scholasticism to reject Aristotelian philosophy. The third feature of Gassendi's philosophy is that he advocated a moderate skepticism. This moderate skepticism influenced philosophy perhaps more profoundly than Descartes' attempts to refute skepticism entirely.

Pierre Gassendi French physicist and philosopher, who promoted an atomic theory of matter. As for flesh, true, indeed, is it that man is sustained on flesh. But how many things, let me ask, does man do every day which are contrary to, or beside, his nature? So great, and so general, is the perversion of his mode of life, which has, as it were, eaten into his flesh by a sort of deadly contagion, that he appears to have put on another disposition. Hence, the whole care and concern of philosophy and moral instruction ought to consist in leading men back to the paths of Nature. - Letter to Van Helmont

PIERRE GASSENDI (1592-1655) was born in the small village of Champtercier in the South of France. He was first taught by his uncle and later entered the College of Digne (1599) and the University of Aix (1609) where he studied philosophy and theology. Several years later he was ordained, took his doctorate in theology (Avignon), and became a canon of Notre Dame du Bourg (Digne). He was later appointed Professor of Philosophy at Aix. Gassend's first book, Exercitationes paradoxicae adversus aristoteleos, was stridently anti-Scholastic. Gassendi lived in Paris from 1628-1632 where he made a number of life-long friendships, notably with Boulliau, Mersenne, Mydorge, Naude, and La Mothe le Vayer. Besides his interest in ancient philosophy, notably his work on Epicurus, Gassendi was particularly interested during this period in issues involving astronomy and optics. He soon published Parhelia, sive soles quatuor (1630) and Mercurius in sole visus (1632).
