DESCRIPTION:<p>Abstract: Margaret Cavendish was a great 17th century English philosopher who had a strikingly naturalistic metaphysics\, epistemology\, and philosophy of science. In the first part of this talk\, I introduce my interpretation of Cavendish's system\, which centers this naturalism\, and runs counter to common interpretations of her as a panpsychist. The&nbsp\;panpsychist reading comes in part from Cavendish's claim that every creature\, from animals to plants to stones and planets\, is knowing. So in the second section of the talk\, I develop a Cavendishian account of knowledge on which everything is knowing but panpsychism is not entailed\, and I try to motivate this account of knowledge with an eye to contemporary epistemological concerns.</p>
