Best wishes, Christian Henkel --------------------------------------------------------------- The Cambridge Platonists and the Ragley Cabbalists on the Pre-existence and Revolution of Souls The Cambridge Platonists were a circle of philosophers and theologians at Cambridge University in the second half of the seventeenth century, surrounding figures like Henry More (1614-1687) and Ralph Cudworth (1617-1688). By the "Ragley Cabbalists," I have in mind the circle surrounding Anne Conway (1631-1679) and Francis Mercury van Helmont (1614-1698) at the former's home of Ragley Hall in Warwickshire. Although these two groups were bound by close and abiding ties of friendship, there were many philosophical differences between them, as I shall discuss. The topics that concern me are the Origenist doctrines of the pre-existence and transmigration of souls, and the ultimate hope of universal salvation. Although these notions were unusual in seventeenth-century philosophy more widely, they were warmly embraced by both of these groups, but articulated in very different ways.

The Cambridge Platonists and the Ragley Cabbalists on the Pre-existence and Revolution of Souls

The Cambridge Platonists were a circle of philosophers and theologians at Cambridge University in the second half of the seventeenth century, surrounding figures like Henry More (1614-1687) and Ralph Cudworth (1617-1688). By the “Ragley Cabbalists,” I have in mind the circle surrounding Anne Conway (1631-1679) and Francis Mercury van Helmont (1614-1698) at the former’s home of Ragley Hall in Warwickshire. Although these two groups were bound by close and abiding ties of friendship, there were many philosophical differences between them, as I shall discuss. The topics that concern me are the Origenist doctrines of the pre-existence and transmigration of souls, and the ultimate hope of universal salvation. Although these notions were unusual in seventeenth-century philosophy more widely, they were warmly embraced by both of these groups, but articulated in very different ways.
