"Insgesamt liefert das 'Specimen' eine äußerst gut informierte Einführung in die Hauptzüge des Spinozismus, während es ebenfalls versucht, den Einwänden, die gegen Spinozas Schriften von Kritikern wie Willem van Blyenbergh erhoben wurden, entgegenzutreten." (Wiep van Bunge, 2003). Auch die beiden Fortsetzungen - Principiorum pantosophiae pars secunda: Exhibens vias quas corpus motum describit, & inde ortas proprietates [...]. - Hamburg : Künrath, 1684. - 5 [Bl.], 229 S., und Principiorum pantosophiae pars tertia: Exhibens Effectus quos corpora mota in se invicem producunt [...]. - Hamburg : Künrath, 1984. - 6 [Bl.], 140, 12 [Bl.] - sind ein interessanter Versuch, [...] eine spinozistische Physik auf der Grundlage einer kritischen Analyse von Descartes' Verwendung des Trägheitsprinzips zu schaffen" (van Bunge). |

"On the whole, the 'Specimen' delivers an extremely well-informed introduction to the main tenets of Spinozism, while it also attempts to counter the objections raised to Spinoza's writings by such critics as Willem van Blyenbergh" (Wiep van Bunge, 2003). The two continuations - Principiorum pantosophiae pars secunda: Exhibens vias quas corpus motum describit, & inde ortas proprietates [...]. - Hamburg : Künrath, 1684. - 5 [Bl.], 229 S., und Principiorum pantosophiae pars tertia: Exhibens Effectus quos corpora mota in se invicem producunt [...]. - Hamburg : Künrath, 1984. - 6 [Bl.], 140, 12 [Bl.] - are also "a very interesting attempt to create [...] a Spinozist physics on the basis of a critical analysis of Descartes' use of the principle of 'inertia'" (van Bunge). |
