Abstract

This study of the antagonists of Cartesian thought in the Netherlands during Descartes' lifetime focuses principally on the reactions and criticisms of the Dutch Calvinist theologian, Gisbertu Voetius. It not only offers insights into cultural and intellectual aspects of seventeenth-century university life in the Low Countries, but also a detailed analysis of Calvinist theologians' utilization of Scholastic sources in order to confront the implications of Descartes' doctrines.
