This study of Boyle's epistemology reveals the theological context within which he developed his views on reason's limits. It also details how Boyle's three specific categories of things which transcend reason - the incomprehensible, the inexplicable, and the unsociable - affected his conception of what a natural philosopher could hope to know.
