title = "Jesuit Conceptions of Impetus After Galileo: Honor{\'e} Fabri, Paolo Casati, and Francesco Eschinardi",
abstract = "The fourteenth-century concept of impetus denotes an impressed force and was used to explain the continuation of the motion of projectiles and the acceleration of falling bodies. This chapter deals with the use of this concept in the period between Galileo{\textquoteright}s death (1642) and the publication of Newton{\textquoteright}s Philosophi{\ae} naturalis principia mathematica (1687). Focusing on three major figures among contemporary Jesuit thinkers, the French Honor{\'e} Fabri (1608–1688) and the Italians Paolo Casati (1617–1707) and Francesco Eschinardi (1623–1703), this chapter shows how these Jesuits employed the concept of impetus in their own versions of preclassical mechanics.",
