Henry More (1614 Grantham, Spojené království1. září 1687 Cambridge, tamtéž) byl anglický filozof, představitel cambridgeské školy platonismu.[1]

Filozofie

Pod vlivem J. Böhmeho a kabaly přešel od kartézské metafyziky k mysticismu. Byl kritizován Leibnizem za jednostrannost v otázce mechanicko-metafyzického působení přírody, neboť jak platonik odmítal materiální příčiny. Takové kategorie, jako příčina a následek, celek a část... nejsou materiálními stopami předmětů v duši, nýbrž jejím vlastním vnímáním, vycházejícím z nitra a uskutečňujícím se, pokud její pozornost je obrácena k vnějším předmětům.[2]
