Jacobus Revius: A Theological Examination of Cartesian Philosophy
Early Criticisms (1647)
Series: - Kerkhistorische Bijdragen, Volume: 19
Editor:
This volume presents early criticisms of Descartesâ philosophy by Dutch Reformed theologian Jacobus Revius (1586-1658).
The book offers the Latin textsâoriginally printed in 1647âof five theological disputations held at the States College in Leiden, and of Reviusâ work Methodi cartesianae consideratio theologica. The texts are preceded by an introduction. Earlier references to Descartes in Reviusâ Suarez repurgatus (1643/4) are appended.
This edition makes available theological texts of a remarkable quality. Documenting his argument carefully from various writings of Descartes, Revius seeks especially to indicate where Cartesian philosophy is not consonant with Christian (Reformed) religion or where it is inconsistent. Various indexes enhance the usefulness of the edition.
