Excerpt from The Philosophy of Ralph Cudworth: A Study of the True Intellectual System of the Universe
The logical result, that Cogito ergo sum is not a first principle.
By still retaining it as such, Des Cartes reasons in a circle.
Des Cartes fails to comprehend his own suggestion, that being and thought are one in God.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical landscape of the 17th century, exploring the complex interplay of ideas that shaped the era. The author meticulously examines the work of renowned thinkers like RenàDescartes and Thomas Hobbes, highlighting their contributions to the rise of modern philosophy and the challenges their ideas posed to traditional beliefs. The book centers on the vibrant intellectual movement known as Cambridge Platonism, which sought to reconcile reason and faith in the wake of Cartesian skepticism and the materialism of Hobbes. The author, himself a prominent figure in this movement, presents a compelling argument against atheism, drawing upon ancient philosophical traditions and engaging in a systematic refutation of various atheistic arguments. Through a detailed analysis of the author's own work, the book unveils his unique blend of Platonism and Christian theology, culminating in the concept of "Immutable Morality" ââ â a cornerstone of his philosophical system that asserts the existence of eternal truths and an inherent moral order. By examining these ideas, the book illuminates the enduring significance of the author's contributions to the ongoing debate between faith, reason, and the nature of reality.
