Post-Renaissance Distance from Tradition

What we know today as early modern philosophy was forged in the opening years of the seventeenth century, in the writings of such thinkers as Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, and Rene Descartes. Exactly one of the demarcation point of putting a new historical label on this period is because this period was perceived as the beginning of modern philosophy in part because these philosophers saw themselves as the vanguard of an intellectual revolution, whose goal was to break with the philosophy of the past. In my presentation I argue that we should talk this distantiation from the past seriously and see what consequences it has for our understanding of this period.
