Pierre Gassendi's philosophy and science : atomism for empiricists Fisher, S 2005 Brill's studies in intellectual history, 0920-8607 ( Serie ) Leiden ; Boston : Brill 9789047416579 | BRILL9789047416579 Abstract

This study of Gassendi's philosophy and science puts forth the view that his atomism follows from his empiricism: as an outgrowth of our best theory of knowledge and sound scientific method, we get evidence that warrents the micorphysical theory.
