Sobre El Autor
The best known of the Cambridge Platonists, Henry More was born at Grantham, Lincolnshire. His father was a strict Calvinist, but More's education at Eton College led him to abandon the doctrine of predestination. He entered Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1631, was elected to a fellowship in 1639, mostrar más and remained there the rest of his life. Devoted to the study of philosophy, he took little part in public affairs or university administration. The focus of his interest was the relation between God and creation, especially the individual soul. He was influenced by the writings of Christian mysticism and by poetry, especially the writings of Spenser (see als Vol. 2). His thinking is more in the spirit of Renaissance Christian Neoplatonism than of either Scholastic Aristotelianism or the modern philosophy that was emerging in the seventeenth century. Upon first acquaintance with the writings of Descartes (see also Vol. 5), More expressed great admiration for his philosophy; as time passed, however, and More began to appreciate the true character of Cartesian natural science, he became increasingly critical of Cartesian materialism and mechanism as a conception of the natural world, which he regarded as atheistic. His thought is believed to have influenced Newton's (see also Vol. 5) conception of space as God's "sensorium" and Newton's view that space, even where empty of matter, may be occupied by spiritual natures. More's chief works are The Immortality of the Soul (1659), the Enchiridion Ethicum (1667), the Divine Dialogues (1668), and the Enchiridion Metaphysicum (1671).

An Exposition of the Seven Epistles to the Seven… por Henry More
This is one of the books the Puritan Divine, Stephen Charnock, quoted from often. It is written by Henry More who was a contemporary of Charnock's. It is a great commentary on part of the book of Revelation. It is written in a very old English style, i.e. "f" for "s" and so on; yet it is worth the read if you can adjust to the style. I personally love to read this style; however, more importantly, I love to read the old Puritan writings. They contain an absolute WEALTH of information, and a DEPTH of information which, simply put, cannot be found in any modern writings. I highly recommend this book to the serious bible student.… (más)

From the Auction Catalogue:
The running title is "Loves Loade-Stone." At the time, partly due to James I's favor of the genre, allegorical plays became increasingly popular with college dramatists. Thomas Tomkis's Lingua (see lot 73) was the model on which most others were based, and Pathomachia makes direct references to that play. It deals with the revolt of the Affections against Love and Hatred, "whom heretofore they counted their King and Queene." Love and Hatred are aided by the Virtues, headed by Justice, while the rebels have the support of the Vices disguised as Affections or Virtues, and commanded by Pride. Justice, however, unmasks them, and sends them to confinement, whereupon the Affections tender their submission and are pardoned. The work is in prose throughout, and contains many allusions to recent events. Greg 434; STC 19462.… (más)

Writing to Coleridge, 7 June 1809, regarding Coleridge's extensive marginalia in this work:
"I wish every book I have were so noted. They have thoroughly converted me to relish Daniel, or to say I relish him, for, after all, I believe I did relish him."
"I wish every book I have were so noted. They have thoroughly converted me to relish Daniel, or to say I relish him, for, after all, I believe I did relish him."
Dr. Henry More, of Cambridge, he did not much affect: he was a platonist, and, in Johnson's opinion, a visionary. He would frequently cite from him, and laugh at, a passage to this effect:—'At the consummation of all things, it shall come to pass, that eternity shall shake hands with opacity.' –Sir John Hawkins in The Life of Samuel Johnson
