The present collection of essays is devoted to the Christian philosophy of the most prolific and most speculatively ambitious of the Cambridge Origenists, Henry More. Not only did More revere Origen, whom he extolled as a 'holy sage' and 'that miracle of the Christian world', but he also developed a philosophical system which hinged upon the Origenian notions of universal divine goodness and libertarian human freedom. Throughout his life, More subscribed to the ancient theology of the pre-existence of souls and took issue with the early modern philosophies of Thomas Hobbes, René Descartes and Baruch de Spinoza. His vision of God's goodness, experienced in his early school years at Eton, became the cornerstone of an Origenist rationalism which envisaged an extended world animated by divine thought and inhabited by self-moving rational agents. More's philosophy is the crowning attainment of the early modern rediscovery of Origen as well as a neglected major rationalist system in its own right which went on to exert decisive influence upon all subsequent western metaphysics. The essays collected in the first part provide a detailed introduction to More's voluminous writings. After a comprehensive general overview of his metaphysical and ethical system, the essays expound More's historical context and his philosophical development from his early poetry in the 1640s to his mature philosophical and theological prose works of the 50s, 60s and 70s. In addition, the reception of More and Origen in the later Cambridge Origenists and in Isaac Newton is outlined. The second part contains several excerpts from More's influential Latin works first translated into English by the editor.

The contributions in this volume discuss Pico della Miranola's treatise "On the salvation of Origen." The writings of Origen were an important source of inspiration for the spiritual upheavals of the Renaissance and of humanism. A fundamental Renaissance text on Origen is the "Oration on the dignity of man" of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494), which was published posthumously in 1486. In this text, freedom is thought of as the vehicle of human existence: man determines, by virtue of his freedom, his own place in the cosmos. This faculty of self-determination establishes man's responsibility for his own actions and determines his dignity. Pico also wrote about Origen in his famous "900 Theses" in 1486, saying that it would be more reasonable to assume that Origin is saved than to assume he is damned. Accused, among other things, of heresy, Pico defended both himself and Origen in the treatise "On the salvation of Origen," the first detailed apology of its kind since antiquity.

Die Jahre 1658-1662 stellen so etwas wie einen origenistischen Moment innerhalb der englischen Theologie dar, der neben Ubersetzungen und Werkeditionen ganze im Geiste des Origenes entworfene philosophische Systementwurfe hervorbringt. Die 1661 anonym erscheinende Schrift des anglikanischen Bischofs George Rust ist ein Manifest des neuzeitlichen Origenismus: In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit den neuen Philosophien eines Hobbes oder Descartes einerseits und der calvinistischen Theologie andererseits schreibt der Autor darin auf originelle Weise grundlegende Einsichten des Origenes fort.
