Henry More citáty

Henry More byl anglický filozof, představitel cambridgeské školy platonismu. Pod vlivem J. Böhmeho a kabaly přešel od kartézské metafyziky k mysticismu.

Byl kritizován Leibnizem za jednostrannost v otázce mechanicko-metafyzického působení přírody, neboť jak platonik odmítal materiální příčiny. Wikipedia

Henry More: Citáty anglicky

“Tell mankind Jehovah reigns;
He shall bind the world in chains,
So as it shall never slide,
And with sacred justice guide.
Let the smiling heavens rejoice,
Joyful earth exalt her voice;
Let the dancing billows roar,
Echoes answer from the shore,
Fields their flowery mantles shake;
All shall in their joy partake;
While the wood-musicians sing
To the ever-youthful spring.
Fill His courts with sacred mirth;
Lo! He comes to judge the earth:
Justly He the world shall sway,
And His truth to men display.”

"A Hymn of Praise" (1668)

“True religion, sprung from God above,
Is, like her fountain, full of charity,
Embracing all things with a tender love,
Full of good will and meek expectancy,
Full of true justice and sure verity,
In heart and voice; free, large, even infinite,
Not wedged in straight peculiarity,
But grasping all in her vast active spright:
Bright lamp of God! that men would joy in thy pure light!”
