Excerpt: ...a modified atomism.1 He believes that "the operations of nature are performed by subtle streams of minute bodies"; but he does not believe that the world was made by a " fortuitous concourse of atoms." This opinion, which "those of Epicurus, his elder school, taught," is "impious and vile." He believes that God created atomic matter and is the " supreme orderer of its motions."

Excerpt from Joseph Glanvill: A Study in English Thought and Letters of the Seventeenth Century This study of Glanvill was undertaken as a part of the work leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. It has been carried out under the direction of Professor Thomas R. Price, to whom I am greatly indebted for careful and kindly criticism. The plan and aim of the essay will, I trust, be sufficiently apparent without discussion here. In the numerous quotations from Glanvill's writings I have followed his peculiar spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. It has not, however, been possible to preserve his archaic typography. His books are set in three kinds of type, - Roman, italic, and black-...

Science in an Enchanted World
Best known as the Saducismus triumphatus (1681), Joseph Glanvill’s book on witchcraft is among the most frequently published from the seventeenth century, and its arguments for the reality of diabolic witchcraft elicited passionate responses from critics and supporters alike. Davies untangles the intricate development of this text and explores how Glanvill’s roles as theologian, philosopher and advocate for the Royal Society of London converge in its pages. Glanvill’s broader philosophical method and unique approach to the supernatural provide a case study that enables the exploration of the interaction between the rise of experimental science and changing attitudes to witchcraft.
