' Anti-Theological Foundations of Modern Constitutional Theory: The
‘ Anti-Theological Foundations of Modern Constitutional Theory: The Dutch Revolt, Locke’s Dualism and the Spinozist Basis of Modern Freedom of Expression’ Jonathan Israel, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton One of the Enlightenment’s principal roots, historians would generally agree, should be sought in the seventeenth-century ‘general crisis’, the deeply divisive effects of confessionalization, the Wars of Religion (1567-1648), and the impact of what Cartesians interpreted as the post-1600 Galilean ‘scientific revolution’. The Netherlands, of course, shared in these experiences like the rest of Europe, no more and no less; yet there are concrete, structural reasons why the Radical Enlightenment’s beginnings and early rise should have first occurred in Holland rather than England, Italy or elsewhere: no other seventeenth century republican milieu had its very existence and rationale so profoundly challenged by an anti-republican alignment as the United Provinces during the seventeenth century. No less than three times - in 1618-19, in 1650, and in 1672 - the patrician oligarchy of ‘regents’ rejecting monarchical and ecclesiastical power and offering extended religious toleration, was dragged helplessly into major conflict with the ‘Orangist’ alliance of the Stadholder, public Church and common people. Prince Maurits, William II, and William III were right in calculating that if it came to a trial of strength, as it did each time, they would gain the upper hand and overpower the republican oligarchy because they had Church and common -
Baruch Spinoza Chronology
Baruch Spinoza Chronology 1391 Spanish Jews are forced to convert to Catholicism for the sake of "social and sectarian uniformity." 1478 Establishment of the Spanish Inquisition, whose primary task is to convict and execute those found "judaizing." 1492 All practising Jews in Spain are given the choice to convert or be expelled. 1497 All Portuguese Jews (including Spinoza’s ancestors) are forced to convert. A steady stream of Jewish refugees begins to flow from Portugal. 1587/8 Spinoza’s father Michael is born in Vidigere, Portugal, to Isaac d’Espinoza 1609 Beginning of the twelve year truce between the United Provinces and Spain, effectively establishing political independence (after nearly a 100 year struggle) for the seven northern provinces as well as their (Protestant) sectarian separation from the (Catholic) southern provinces. 1618 Defenestration of Prague and beginning of the Thirty Years War. Calvinist-inspired coup d’état in the Dutch Republic, led by the Prince of Orange, leading to the execution of Oldenbarnevelt and imprisonment of Grotius. Uriel d’Acosta (or da Costa), a Portuguese “New Christian” who had returned to Judaism in Amsterdam but became disillusioned with the Jewish community, is excommunicated for the first time in Venice for denying the immortality of the soul and questioning the Mosaic authorship of the Torah, a decree later affirmed in Amsterdam in 1623 and renewed in 1633. 1619 Batavia, Java is established as headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. 1620 Francis Bacon writes Novum organum. 1621 Hostilities resume between Spain and the United Provinces. 1622 Probable date Spinoza’s father arrives in Amsterdam, probably from Nantes. -

In particular, it shows how the rejection by Van den Enden of titles 809–818 commonly used in Jesuits schools finds echoes in Spinoza’s philosophy. At the same time, the article argues that through their common participation in theatrical plays, Van den Enden and Spinoza shared a pedagogical experience that helped to overcome the problems linked to the introduction of a hierarchy, not theoretically, but in practice. Introduction Spinoza’s proximity to Franciscus Van den Enden’s private school, which he attended first as a student and then as a teacher, put him in direct contact with the educational problems of his time. -

The Bergsonian Moment: Science and Spirit in France, 1874-1907
THE BERGSONIAN MOMENT: SCIENCE AND SPIRIT IN FRANCE, 1874-1907 by Larry Sommer McGrath A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Larry Sommer McGrath All Rights Reserved Intended to be blank ii Abstract My dissertation is an intellectual and cultural history of a distinct movement in modern Europe that I call “scientific spiritualism.” I argue that the philosopher Henri Bergson emerged from this movement as its most celebrated spokesman. From the 1874 publication of Émile Boutroux’s The Contingency of the Laws of Nature to Bergson’s 1907 Creative Evolution, a wave of heterodox thinkers, including Maurice Blondel, Alfred Fouillée, Jean-Marie Guyau, Pierre Janet, and Édouard Le Roy, gave shape to scientific spiritualism. These thinkers staged a rapprochement between two disparate formations: on the one hand, the rich heritage of French spiritualism, extending from the sixteenth- and seventeeth-century polymaths Michel de Montaigne and René Descartes to the nineteenth-century philosophes Maine de Biran and Victor Cousin; and on the other hand, transnational developments in the emergent natural and human sciences, especially in the nascent experimental psychology and evolutionary biology. I trace the influx of these developments into Paris, where scientific spiritualists collaboratively rejuvenated the philosophical and religious study of consciousness on the basis of the very sciences that threatened the authority of philosophy and religion. Using original materials gathered in French and Belgian archives, I argue that new reading communities formed around scientific journals, the explosion of research institutes, and the secularization of the French education system, brought about this significant, though heretofore neglected wave of thought. -

HENRI GOUHIER (1898-1994) Par Denise LEDUC-FAYETTE
Henri Gouhier (1898-1994). HENRI GOUHIER (1898-1994) par Denise LEDUC-FAYETTE « C’est en écoutant le philosophe d’hier parler aux hommes de son temps que le philosophe d’aujourd’hui peut entendre ce qu ’il a peut-être encore à nous dire » (1). Henri Gouhier n’avait que vingt-six ans lorsque la Librairie Vrin qui demeu rera son principal éditeur, publia son premier ouvrage, La pensée religieuse de Descartes (2), dans la collection « Études de philosophie médiévale », dirigée par son maître Étienne Gilson. Il y manifestait déjà une grande originalité en contestant le primat affirmé par celui-ci, de la physique sur la métaphysique cartésienne. Dans l’avant-propos de sa thèse de doctorat ès lettres, La Philoso phie de Malebranche et son expérience religieuse (3), Gouhier rendit un vibrant hommage à Gilson, et soixante-sept ans plus tard, il lui consacra un ultime volume composé de trois essais, « Gilson et Bergson », « Gilson et la notion de philosophie chrétienne », « La philosophie de l’art selon Gilson » (4). Fidé lité exemplaire dont témoigne aussi la récente publication de quelques unes des lettres de la vaste correspondance entretenue par ces deux grands historiens de la philosophie (5). La carrière d’Henri Gouhier a été prestigieuse. Membre de l’Académie fran çaise, où il avait été élu le 15 février 1979, de l’Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, depuis 1961, membre « associé » de l’Académie royale de Belgi que, ou encore « étranger » de la très illustre et vénérable Accademia Nazio- nale dei Lincei, docteur Honoris causa des Universités de Genève et de Rome, il vit l’ensemble de ses travaux couronné par le Grand prix de littérature de l’Aca démie Française (1959), le Grand prix de littérature de la Ville de Paris (1976), le Prix mondial Cino del Duca (1988). -
