Of all the Cambridge Platonists, Henry More has attracted the most
scholar ly interest in recent years, as the nature and significance
of his contribution to the history of thought has come to be better
understood. This revival of interest is in marked contrast to the
neglect of More's writings lamented even by his first biographer,
Richard Ward, a regret echoed two centuries after his 1 death.
Since then such attention as there has been to More has not always
served him well. He has been dismissed as credulous on account of
his belief in witchcraft while his reputation as the most mystical
of the Cambridge 2 school has undermined his reputation as a
philosopher. Much of the interest in More in the present century
has tended to focus on one particular aspect of his writing. There
has been considerable interest in his poems. And he has come to the
attention of philosophers thanks to his having corresponded with
Descartes. Latterly, however, interest in More has been rekindled
by renewed interest in the intellectual history of the seventeenth
century and Renaissance. And More has been studied in the context
of seventeenth-cen tury science and the wider context of
seventeenth-century philosophy. Since More is a figure who belongs
to the Renaissance tradition of unified sapientia he is not easily
compartmentalised in the categories of modern disciplines.
Inevitably discussion of anyone aspect of his thought involves
other aspects."
