This book illustrates the vitality and diversity of the
seventeenth-century philosophers now known as the “Cambridge
Platonists”, focusing chiefly on Henry More, Ralph Cudworth and
two women associated with the group — Anne Conwayand Damaris
Masham. The “Cambridge Platonists” made significant
contributions to early modern philosophy. Their Platonist sobriquet
obscures the fact that they were at the forefront of new thinking
of their day.Some of the first English philosophers to write in the
vernacular, they tackled the big themes of seventeenth-century
philosophy (materialism, determinism, scepticism, atheism) and
contributed original and innovative ideas in metaphysics,
epistemology, psychology, and ethics. This volume highlights their
treatment of some key philosophical themes (from the infinity of
the world and the concept of substance to consciousness animals,
love), and their inter-connections with contemporary philosophers
(Descartes, Leibniz, and Locke). This book will be a valuable
resource for academics, researchers, and Philosophy graduates. The
chapters in this book were originally published in the British
Journal for the History of Philosophy.
