German commentary | Über Abfolge, Autorschaft und Inhalt der in der "Refutation de Spinoza" (1731) enthaltenen Werke. These: Das in dem Band enthaltene 'Preface' [erste Paginierung: 151-158] stammt nicht von Boulainvillers, sondern vermutlich ebenso wie das '"Avertissement" [erste Paginierrung: a-as] nicht von Boulainvillers, sondern von Lenglet Dufrenet,. Die falsche Autorzuschreibund der Spinoza-kritischen Ausführungen im "Preface" dient dazu, die positive Stellungnahme Boulainvillers zu Spinozas Philosophie in dessen bewusst irreführend überschriebenen "Réfutation de Spinosa" zu kaschieren. Abschließend kurz über Voltaires handschriftliche Bemerkungen zum Band. |
English commentary | About order, authorship and contents of the works in the "Réfutation de Spinoza" (1731) . Proposition: The author of the "Preface" [first pagination: 151-158] is not, as given in the book, Boulainvillers, but Lenglet Dufrainet who is presumably also the author of the "Avertissement" [first pagination: a-as]. The false dedication of the authorship of the expositions in the "Preface" is aimed at concealing the positive judgements of Boulainvilliers concerning Spinoza's philosophy in the his "Réfutation de Spinosa" with the consciously misleading title. Finally briefly on the handwritten remarks by Voltaire in the volume. |
