The first ever English translation of Franois Hemsterhuis' philosophically ambitious and illuminating fragments, notes and correspondence, making accessible to Anglophone readers some of the most significant texts, for a genuine understanding of his philosophy.
This final volume in The Edinburgh Edition of the Complete Philosophical Works of Franois Hemsterhuis includes the Letter on Atheism, the Letter on Fatalism and the Letter on Optics--all penned as part of his remarkable correspondence with Amalie Gallitzin--as well as the unpublished dialogue, Alexis II. Also included is Hemsterhuis' philosophical responses to Plato, Spinoza and Diderot, to contemporary political events in the Dutch Republic and to the French Revolution.
Jacob van Sluis is a former subject librarian at the University Library of Groningen. He has published on the history of theology and philosophy in the Dutch Republic and he is the editor of the critical edition of Hemsterhuis' Oeuvres philosophiques (Brill, 2015).

He is author and editor of numerous volumes on eighteenth and nineteenth-century philosophy, including the three-volume Edinburgh Edition of the Complete Philosophical Works of Fran輟is Hemsterhuis, The Schelling-Eschenmayer Controversy, 1801: Nature and Identity (EUP, 2020), The Edinburgh Critical History of Nineteenth-Century Christian Theology, The Schelling Reader (Bloomsbury, 2020) and the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Modern French Philosophy (Oxford University Press, 2022).
