Additional Details



Critical Latin edition of Cudworth's 1678 True Intellectual System of the Universe, his most important work. "Cudworth was the most systematic of the Cambridge Platonists, and his attempt to combine Neo-Platonism and the mechanical philosophy is important in understanding the background to Newton and the early Newtonians"--DSB III, 492.<
