Overview
- A fully systematic and sustained examination of More's own highly systematic metaphysics, which one could not get from a multitude of discrete, self-contained articles
- Several new insights into More's philosophy that have thus far been missed altogether in the existing secondary literature
- Considerable light is also shed on the ideas of other , better-known figures, such as Descartes or Newton
Part of the book series: International Archives of the History of Ideas Archives internationales d'histoire des idées (ARCH, volume 207)

About this book
Reviews
“Reid’s book is the first comprehensive study of Henry More as a metaphysician, attentive to the broad picture as well as to fine details. As such, it is to be saluted as a great achievement in the field of the history of early modern philosophy … . Reid has also performed a great service to readers, for his book is written in a clear and compelling style … .” (Guido Giglioni, Journal of the History of Philosophy, Vol. 54 (3), July, 2016)
