Page 1 Introduction Sylvana Tomaselli John W. Yolton's contribution to the history of philosophy is outstanding. He has enhanced our knowledge of some of the most eminent figures within the canon and of a great many outside of it. His work has especially enriched our understanding of the central texts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and of what they were taken to mean by readers in subsequent periods and in different countries. He has established the intentions behind the writings and rhetoric of influential thinkers in those two hundred years and analyzed the history of the ideas and hypotheses put forward by them. Above all else he has taught pupils and colleagues alike to read. He has urged us to develop, as he put it, "a sensitivity to an author's use of words,"1 and never to stray beyond the evidence afforded by the texts. His distinction as a scholar and a teacher resides partly in the fact that he has unfailingly practiced what he has preached. Yolton was first drawn to philosophy in his second year at the University of Cincinnati by an introductory course taught by a dynamic teacher. He went on to major in philosophy and English literature. The person who then gave a more distinctive shape to his philosophical interests and broadened his historical knowledge was Julius R. Weinberg. Supervised by Weinberg, Yolton's M.A. thesis on perception theory set the tone for much of his subsequent research.
