Synopsis
The Present State Of The Republick Of Letters — Various authors. This 1731 issue presents a dense cross-disciplinary panorama of Enlightenment periodical culture, surveying theology, philosophy, biblical criticism, science, travel writing, natural history, and the arts. Contents include critical discussions of Ralph Cudworth’s Treatise on Eternal and Immutable Morality, inquiries into the Revelation of St. John and canonicity, a summary of Plato’s Vision of Er, reviews of Peter Kolben’s Natural History of the Cape, John Arbuthnot’s essay on the nature of aliments, and an introductory philosophy and method outlining a threefold division of knowledge. It also offers broad bibliographic notices and discussions of poetry, painting, and ethics, along with ethnographic and colonial travel writing about the Cape of Good Hope, and reflections on education, science, and the limits of artistic license. The issue embodies early 18th?century debates about metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, natural history, and the circulation of knowledge across a pan?European Republic of Letters.
