The book surveys the key metaphysical contributions of the
Cambridge Platonist, Henry More (1614-1687). It deals with such
interwoven topics as: the natures of body and spirit, and the
question of whether or not there is a sharp ontological division
between them; the nature of spatial extension in relation to each;
the composition and governance of the physical world, including
More's theories of Hyle, atoms, vacuum, and the Spirit of Nature;
and the life of the human soul, including its pre-existence. It
approaches these topics and the systematic connections between them
both historically and analytically, and seeks to do justice to the
ways in which More's system developed and changed-sometimes quite
dramatically-over the course of his long career. It also explores
More's intellectual relations with both his own inspirations
(Plotinus, Origen, Ficino, Descartes, etc.) and with those who
responded, whether positively or negatively, to his work (Leibniz,
Locke, Boyle, Newton, etc.).
