Question
Sarah Hutton’s revised edition of this thinker’s letters restores “Tracts” that had been cut by Marjorie Hope Nicolson. This thinker’s use of a mentor’s term, “discerpible,” suggests that Descartes was not the target of a book that says a carpenter does “not give Being to the Wood.” Francis Mercury van Helmont introduced this thinker to both kabbalah and Quakerism. This thinker described a “third species” that God uses as an “Instrument” to be nearer to Nature; that concept analogous to a contemporary’s (*) “plastic nature” was termed “Middle Being” by this thinker. This thinker described creation as a single substance composed of infinite “spirit particles.” The Cambridge Platonist Henry More tutored this 17th-century philosopher whose “vitalist” ideas informed Leibniz’s concept of monads. For 10 points, name this woman who wrote The Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy. ■END■
