This volume is a monument to the intellectual ambition and erudition of one of Britain's greatest philosophers.

A seminal work of 17th-century philosophy, Cudworth's 'Universe' explores the nature of existence, the relationship between mind and matter, and the limits of human knowledge.

Drawing on a wide range of classical and contemporary sources, it remains a cornerstone of modern philosophical thought.

This classic treatise on the nature of free will and human agency has been an influential philosophical work for centuries. Cudworth and Allen explore the complex relationship between determinism and moral responsibility, providing a rigorous and thoughtful examination of one of the most contested issues in philosophy.
