Informationen zum Autor Edited by Tod E. Jones - Translated by Sara Elise Phang Klappentext The Cambridge Platonists is written with students and novice theologians in mind. It provides context as well as description, while outlining the most representative ideas of the school with clarity and brevity. This introduction will meet the needs of many readers, but for those beginning a study of the works of the Cambridge Platonists, the Eight Letters of Dr. Antony Tuckney and Dr. Benjamin Whichcote not only provide a logical starting point, in that they present the most characteristic ideas of Whichcote-arguably, the Cambridge Platonists' founding member-but also helps to clarify what sets this school of religious thought apart from contemporary Puritan theology, as represented by Tuckney.
