Promotional Details
The van Sluis and Whistler edition of The Philosophical Works of François Hemsterhuis has been a revelation to anyone working in late modern, German romantic and/or ancient philosophy. This third volume of unpublished essays and correspondence is a treasure trove, featuring numerous texts addressing his interpretation of Spinoza, his understanding of the "Pantheism controversy" between Jacobi and Mendelssohn, including the 'Letter on Atheism' first published by Jacobi, as well as additional essays highlighting his views in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics and aesthetics. Hemsterhuis’s wide-ranging correspondence sheds light on every aspect of his thinking, as well as upon Hemsterhuis the person. van Sluis and Whistler have done us all a great favor in providing this material in English in a definitive scholarly edition.
