The term "Cambridge Platonist" refers to a group of 17th-century philosophers associated with the University of Cambridge, particularly during the period of the English Civil War. Key figures include Henry More, Ralph Cudworth, and Nathaniel Culverwel. They sought to integrate ideas from Platonism with Christian theology, emphasizing the importance of reason and moral philosophy. Cambridge Platonists believed in the existence of universal truths and the rationality of faith. They argued against the mechanistic worldview of their time, advocating for a more spiritual understanding of reality. Their work laid the groundwork for later philosophical movements, including Enlightenment thought.
