Description

"From his correspondence with Descartes in the 1640s to his discussions with Isaac Newton in the 1680s, Henry More (1614-1687) was a central figure in seventeenth-century philosophy. Nothwithstanding his occasional portrayal as a rather eccentric anachronism, excessively wedded to the Neoplatonism of the past, the fact is that he was involved in some of the most cutting-edge debates of the day, and engaged with most of the giants of that great age of geniuses. The present work takes More seriously as a subtle and systematic early-modern metaphysician. It explores his ideas in relation to those of his contemporaries, both friends and foes, while also taking care not to neglect his Neoplatonic heritage; but it also reveals just how original a thinker he was in his own right."--Back cover.
