Lewis Ashman

Historian of philosophy and science

I work at the intersection of the early modern and modern periods and my research centres around the historical relationships between science, philosophy, and religion in the eighteenth century. I’m particularly interested in the place of natural knowledge in the Enlightenment.

I hold a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, where my dissertation was on the reception of Isaac Newton in the Scottish Enlightenment.
