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.

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Ralph Cudworth: A Study of the True Intellectual System of the Universe

It is acknowledge by the best authorities upon philosophical literature that the merits of Cudworth have been too little recognized by his own country men. The first part of his "Intellectual System" was published in 1678, after seven years of obstruction in consequence of the bitter animosity of the courtiers of Charles II. The work took the form of a reply to the popular materialistic writer, Thomas Hobbes; yet it was too catholic in its spirit to escape the charge from the majority of contemporary theologians of being atheistic, heterodox, and heretical in its tendencies. The two parts remaining of the great design were completed only in outline and left in manuscript by the author. Two of these manuscripts have been published: "Immutable Morality," 1731; "Free will," 1838.

The encyclopædic character of the "Intellectual System" has not been favorable to its study in more auspicious times. The work has graced the libraries of learned divines rather as a book of reference and suggestion than as an eminently logical treatment of the problems of philosophy.
