Synopsis "the life of henry more (in English)"
the cambridge platonist, henry more (1614-1687), was a dominant figure on the seventeenth-century intellectual scene. his life spanned both the political revolutions of the english civil war and its aftermath and the intellectual revolution in seventeenth-century science and philosophy. more was highly regarded in his own day as a metaphysician, although the combination of receptivity to the new (such as his admiration of galileo, descartes and boyle) and defence of traditional thinking (notably his belief in witchcraft) makes him a difficult figure to assess today. the heterodoxy of his theological views notwithstanding, more was an important spokesman for moderation within the anglican church after the restoration, and a key figure in the latitudinarian movement. richard wards life of henry more is the only biographical account of him by one of his contemporaries. wards almost hagiographical tone is ample testimony to the high regard in which more was held by his admirers. wards life is an important document of intellectual and cultural history which testifies to the continuing impact of mores ideas in the enlightenment. among other topics, wards biography registers the impact of quakerism in the late seventeenth century and includes important details about mores `heroine pupil, anne conway. the present edition prints both the only modern edition of the printed part of wards account first published in 1710, together with the manuscript account of mores writings which is published here for the first time.
