Document Details : Title: 'Celeberrimus Atheismi Patronus Praecedentis Saeculi' Subtitle: Petrus van Musschenbroek's Anti-Spinozism Unveiled Author(s): DUCHEYNE, Steffen Journal: Lias Volume: 41 Issue: 2 Date: 2014 Pages: 173-197 DOI: 10.2143/LIAS.41.2.3064606 Abstract : In this essay, I will bring several hitherto neglected sources, which pertain to Petrus van Musschenbroek’s (1692-1762) unpublished manuscripts, to the fore. The folios at hand show that Musschenbroek read and actively engaged with Spinoza’s (1632-1677) Ethica. More precisely, it will be shown that Musschenbroek held clear-cut anti-Spinozistic convictions. |
