'Celeberrimus Atheismi patronus praecedentis saeculi': Petrus van Musschenbroek's anti-Spinozism unveiled
Abstract
In this essay, I will bring several hitherto neglected sources, which pertain to Petrus van Musschenbroek’s unpublished manuscripts, to the fore. The folios at hand show that Musschenbroek read and actively engaged with Spinoza’s Ethica. More precisely, it will be shown that Musschenbroek held clear-cut anti-Spinozistic convictions.Author's Profile
