Democritus Platonissans

"Democritus Platonissans" by Henry More is a philosophical poem reflecting perspectives from the 17th century. The poem explores profound topics like infinity, the essence of the cosmos, and the connection between the spiritual and physical realms, mixing neo-Platonic ideas with the scientific understandings of the time. More pushes readers to question established beliefs by suggesting a universe teeming with countless worlds touched by a divine force, challenging former philosophical constraints about the finite world while also preparing readers for the bold journey into Time and Space and encouraging a receptive mind to integrate ideas from ancient philosophers to contemporary thinkers, such as Descartes.
