Description: Facsimile Georg Olms verlag Hildesheim 1990. HB LI + 938 pages. In Latin. Protestant pastor, Cartesian philosopher, christian mystic, the Frenchman Pierre Poiret spent thirty years of his life in Rijnsburg, near Leyden, The Netherlands; the same place where Spinoza, so much more famous than he would be, had lived and worked. Unlike Spinoza, he could not see the world and its creatures as a logical extension of God. Denying pantheism, Poiret maintained: only God is God and of necessity; the world and its creatures, however, exist in dependence on God’s free will, and therefore not by necessity (code N-38)
