Priestley admitted that it convert ed him to determinism and it had a powerful effect on Voltaire in the same direction. It seems important to place in its wider historical context a book which so influenced such men and which greatly impressed the philosophes in general. Therefore - and because such an account has value in itself - the Introduction contains a survey of the freewill controversy from the time of Hobbes to that of Leibniz, giving in some detail the opinions of Hobbes, Locke, Pierre Bayle, William King, Archbishop of Dublin, and Leibniz and an account of the Scholastic doctrine of liberty of indifference - opinions which either influenced Collins or against which he reacted. The value and originality of Collins‘ works need assessing. He was also at times liable to misinterpret or misunderstand the authorities he quoted. I have, therefore, subjected the Inquiry to a detailed critique. This also gives cross-references to parallel passages in Collins‘ works and those of the authors who influe | | 出版日期 | Book 1976 | | 关键词 | Anthony Collins; Deism; Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz; John Locke; Pierre Bayle; Thomas Hobbes; determinism | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-010-1368-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-247-1776-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-010-1368-0 | | copyright | Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague, Netherlands 1976 |
