Resets the scholarship on the philosophical practice and style of Francois HemsterhuisFrancois Hemsterhuis, 1721-1790, was the most significant Dutch philosopher after Spinoza. Daniel Whistler argues that Hemsterhuis' philosophy matters and that its exclusion from the canon of modern philosophy has been unjust. This is not just because of its influence on later German thinkers, such as Goethe, Hegel, Herder, Jacobi, Lessing and Novalis - but primarily because Hemsterhuis' philosophy contains such a rich assemblage of ideas and philosophical practices.
