Father Occupation: Peasant/Small Farmer Gassendi was the son of Antoine Gassend and Francoise Fabry. His father was, by one account, a farmer on his own land, and by another (which is not necessarily inconsistent) a peasant. No information on financial status. 3. Nationality Birth: French Career: French Death: French 4. Education Schooling: Aix; Avignon, D.D. His uncle, Thomas Fabry the village priest was in charge of the early education of Gassendi. He then attended school at Digne from 1599 to 1606 (except for one year at Ruez). After a two year stay at home he returned to his formal schooling at the University at Aix. He studied philosophy under P. Philibert Fesaye and two years later studied theology under Professor Raphaelis. He returned to Digne in 1612 to become Principal of the College of Digne. He held this position for two years after which he received his doctorate in theology at Avignon. I assume a B.A. or its equivalent. 5. Religion

PIERRE GASSENDI (1592-1655): Pierre Gassendi attended school at Digne from 1599 to 1606 then continued his education at home supervised by his uncle. Then, in 1608, he entered the University of Aix where he studied philosophy for two years then theology for a further two years. 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. In addition to these positions in the church, Gassendi was appointed professor of philosophy at the University of Aix in 1617. However this position only lasted until 1623 when the Jesuit order took control of the university of Aix and he was forced to leave. He did not hold any further academic posts until 1645 when he was appointed professor of mathematics at the Collège Royale in Paris. 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.

Pierre GASSEND : "GASSENDI" Pourquoi EUROPEENNE ? Sa devise est "d'oser connaître". Il fut successivement responsable du Collège de DIGNE "Toute connaissance part de nos sens". Il est un des fondateurs du libertinage érudit, passant toute sa vie à déchiffrer la philosophie et la morale du philosophe grec EPICURE. Ne nous étonnons pas de voir Molière, La Fontaine, Voltaire se désaltérer à cette source de la pensée libertine. Son sensualisme et son goût profond pour la nature marquent toute la modernité du personnage. Au postulat du Cogitum Cartésien "Je pense, donc je suis", GASSENDI oppose une approche plus expérimentale de la vérité. Selon GASSENDI, étant donné que l'homme utilise ses sens pour aboutir à l'objectivité, il doit avancer avec prudence, expérimentant et vérifiant chacune de ses affirmations à tous moments. Voilà comment il ouvre la porte aux Sciences Expérimentales L'Astronome imprégné de son ciel étoilé de Haute Provence nous fait encore rêver lorsqu'il écrit à GALILEE, malgré les menaces de l'Inquisition : "Les barrières d'un monde assurément vulgaire sont brisées. L'esprit libéré erre à travers l'immensité de l'espace. En le cachant, vous feriez une grande injure aux lettres et à ceux qui s'adonnent aux sciences les plus divines".

g a s s e n d i 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. G assend'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 L eaving Paris for his native Provence in 1632, Gassendi returned to his studies on the ancient atomist Epicurus. During the next five years Gassendi worked closely with his patron and intimate friend, Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637), perhaps the most prolific correspondent of the early 17th century. With Peiresc's death Gassendi appears to have suffered deep depression. Putting aside his study of Epicurus, Gassendi spent the next several years writing a biography of his friend

Gassendi Correspondence Network; Gassendi letters, correspondence, and manuscripts t h e g a s s e n d i w e b reconstructing gassendi's correspondence network P ierre Gassendi was not a prolific correspondent, not the sort of intelligencer one sees in a Peiresc or Mersenne he was a working natural philosopher who maintained a relatively large and diverse network that he maintained with fair frequency. A s discussed elsewhere on this website, the identity, location, and extent of Gassendi's extant correspondence is far from known much less do we have a perfect picture of the letters known to have been sent or received (now presumed lost). Indeed, there is no scholarly consensus about his manuscript remains or the nature of his correspondence network. To redress this problem I offer the following scratchings, however crude, to display what is currently known about 'Gassendi's Web.' To my knowledge it is the first attempt to provide if not a 'Big Picture' at least a working map of Gassendi's correspondence network.

GASSENDI A cura di Pierre Gassend , detto Gassendi ( 1592 - 1655 ) , sacerdote , scienziato e filosofo , è autore delle Quinte Obiezioni , nelle quali , pur condividendo alcune conclusioni di Cartesio cartesiana nelle capacità esplicative del concetto di sostanza appare a Gassendi un'indebita concessione a un sapere metafisico che , seppure in forma diversa , ripropone i presupposti dogmatici della tradizione aristotelica . La critica di Gassendi a Cartesio si nutre di letture tratte dalla tradizione nominalistica ( il negare l' esistenza degli universali ) , soprattutto Guglielmo di Ockham , e scettica , soprattutto Sesto Empirico tra gli antichi e Montaigne tra i moderni . Nelle " Exercitationes paradoxicae adversus Aristoteleos " ( 1624 ) al razionalistico " scire per causa " aristotelico egli contrappone l' osservazione empirica della realtà naturale e la sua puntuale descrizione . L' uomo pertanto , chiarirà in seguito Gassendi , può conoscere soltanto i fenomeni : infatti , egli può avere conoscenza compiuta solamente di ciò che fa egli stesso ( nel caso degli oggetti artificiali ) o di ciò che può scomporre e ricostruire mentalmente , in modo da coglierne la costruzione interna ( nel caso della realtà naturale ) . Le sostanze , la cui esistenza tuttavia non viene negata , rimangono al di là di queste possibilità e sono conoscibili solo da parte di Dio . Tuttavia va subito detto che i testi cartesiani riportati da Gassendi e indicati come citazioni testuali sono spesso riassunti o parafrasati . Ciò fa sì che egli a volte polemizzi con affermazioni che non corrispondono al dettato del suo interlocutore . Di ciò ebbe a lamentarsi

International Vegetarian Union History of Vegetarianism Europe: The Middle Ages to the 18th Century 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. Man lives very well upon flesh, you say, but, if he thinks this food to be natural to him, why does he not use it as it is, as furnished to him by Nature? But, in fact, be shrinks in horror from seizing and rending living or even raw flesh with his teeth, and lights a fire to change its natural and proper condition . . . What is clearer than that man is not furnished for hunting, much less for eating, other animals? In one word, we seem to be admirably admonished by Cicero that man was destined for other things than for seizing and cutting the throats of other animals. If you answer, "that may be said to be an industry ordered by Nature, by which such weapons are invented," then, behold, it is by the very same artificial instrument that men make weapons for mutual slaughter. Do they this at the instigation of Nature? Can a use so noxious be called natural? Faculty is given by Nature, but it is our own fault that we make a perverse use of it.
