	Samuel Clarke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Samuel Clarke was born in Norwich on 11 October 1675 and died in London on 17 May 1729.
		Clarke had sought to prove that there could only be one self-existing being: if there were more than one, each would have to be conceived as ‘existing alone’, which would not be possible if there were two of them.
		Clarke countered that the objections to the immateriality of the soul are all undermined once it is recognized that the properties of the soul are ‘the most remote from the known properties of matter, that are possible to be conceived’ (Works, vol.

		The son of Edward Clarke, an alderman who represented the city of Norwich in parliament, was educated at the free school of Norwich and at Caius College, Cambridge.
		Clarke's translation (1697) continued to be used as a text-book in the university till supplanted by the treatises of Newton, which it had been designed to introduce.
		Clarke was eminent in theology, mathematics, metaphysics and philology, but his chief strength lay in his logical power.

		Samuel Clarke was not a man of original genius; but, by sheer intellectual power, he came to occupy a leading position in English philosophy and theology.
		Clarke arranges his argument in a series of propositions which he first states and then proceeds to demonstrate; but, otherwise, he did not imitate mathematical method, as Descartes and Spinoza had done.
		What Clarke had called “fitness” was interpreted by him as an actual existing relation or quality: a wrong act is simply the assertion in conduct of a false proposition.

		In 1698 Clarke became a chaplain to the bishop of Norwich and in 1706 to Queen Anne.
		Clarke also spurred a vehement and prolonged controversy with his Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity (1712), which led many of his opponents to accuse him of Arianism, the belief that Christ is neither fully man nor fully God.
		Clarke was a friend and disciple of Newton, Isaac (1643-1727) at the University of Cambridge and helped to spread Newton's views.

		The philosophy of Descartes was the reigning system at the university; Clarke, however, mastered the new system of Newton, and contributed greatly to its extension by publishing an excellent Latin version of the Trait de physique of Jacques Rohault (1620-1675) with valuable notes, which he finished before he was twenty-two years of age.
		Clarke has been generally supposed to have derived the opinion that time and space are attributes of an infinite immaterial and spiritual being from the Scholium Generate, first published in the second edition of Newtons Pr-incipia (1714).
		Though Clarke can thtis be defended against this and similar criticism, his work as a whole can be regarded only as an attempt to present the doctrines of the Cartesian school in a form which would not shock the conscience of his time.

	Samuel Clarke
		Clarke's criticism of the Scholastic view of divine immensity or omnipresence was analogous to that of eternity: the claim that the immensity of God is a point, as his eternity is an instant is, he held, unintelligible.
		Clarke thought he had an answer to this sort of objection by showing that the notion of a necessary agent is contradictory because agency involves the libertarian capacity of suspending action.
		Clarke did not content himself with attacking necessitarianism and determinism with arguments drawn from general metaphysical considerations; he also criticized the specific theories of volition which determinists and necessitarians had put forth, in particular the view that volition is caused by, or even identical with, the last evaluative judgment.

		Clarke was very oriented around propositions and the format of his sermons preached at the Boyle lectures are a good example of this; they all start with a proposition and then set out to prove it.7 The heart of the controversy surrounding Clarke comes from his book Scripture-doctrine of the Trinity or simply Scripture-doctrine.
		As Clarke declares that it is impossible and a self-contradiction to deny the existence of the self-existent one he brings the ontological argument in “under the guise of absolute necessity.”31 Clarke himself shows the relationship of this argument to the Trinity in Boyle lecture number 7.
		Clarke’s close friendship with Newton and their similar emphasis on empiricism led to a non-Arian but still heretical position that the Son was not a creature but still created (not self-existent).

		Clarke’s autobiography describes the sophisticated Boston-educated young minister’s struggles to function in the raw river town of Louisville—with its muddy, unpaved streets, its rowdy, hard-drinking riverboat gamblers, and its unlettered farm families in town to market their produce.
		The members of Clarke’s Louisville church were chiefly transplanted New Englanders, and they probably would have been pleased, he realized years later, had he simply revised William Ellery Channing’s published sermons for their hearing.
		Clarke’s years of biblical study had brought him to see Jesus as both a conservative and a reformer, not replacing the Law but fulfilling it, and the divinely inspired religion of Jesus not only as compatible with reason but as the very rational foundation of science.

		Figlio di sir Edward Clarke, studiò presso la libera scuola di Norwich e al Caius College di Cambridge.
		La filosofia cartesiana era il sistema di pensiero dominante all'epoca; tuttavia Clarke accettò il sistema newtoniano e contribuì alla sua diffusione pubblicando una versione latina del Traité de physique di Jacques Rohault (1620 - 1675), arricchito da un notevole apparato di note, che portò a termine prima di avere compiuto il ventiduesimo anno di età.

		Note that to this point, the year of Scirpture-Doctrine, Clarke's career was almost vertically in the ascendent, and he was furthering it by dedicating to all the powerful.
		According to Whiston, Clarke's intention, when he published Scripture-Doctrine, which he realized was apt to stir up a furor, was to resign his positions if it led to his official condemnation.
		Because of his prominence, Clarke became a minor patron; his influence was sufficient to have his supporter/disciple, John Jackson (like him a clergyman in the Church of England) installed as Confrater of Wigston Hospital.

		Whiston introduced Clarke to the Bishop of Norwich and, when Whiston moved on in 1698 (eventually becoming Newton's assistant at Cambridge three years later), Clarke replaced him as chaplain to the Bishop of Norwich.
		Clarke, in his reply, managed to use the idea of action at a distance to support a belief in human freedom and moral choice.
		When Newton died in 1727, Clarke was offered the position as master of the Royal Mint but he turned it down, stating that it was not consistent with his role as a clergyman.

	Samuel Clarke
		Clarke vigorously denied Leibniz' charge that extension is incompatible with divine simplicity because it introduces parts in God without making any reference to holenmerism, and this intimates that he thought of divine omnipresence in terms of local extension and dimensionality.
		The reason, Clarke explained to Collins, is that the motive, e.g., the proposition “doing X is better than doing Y,” cannot cause anything because it is an abstract entity.

		It was translated into English in 1723 by his brother Dr John Clarke, dean of Sarum.Clarke afterwards devoted himself to the study of Scripture in the original, and of the primitive Christian writers.
		Clarke, in reply, drew up an apologetic preface, and afterwards gave several explanations, which satisfied the Upper House.In 1715 and 1716 he had a discussion with Gottfried Leibniz relative to the principles of natural philosophy and religion, which was at length cut short by the death of his antagonist.
		He compared the two subjects for the sake of the analogy.Though Clarke can thus be defended against this and similar criticism, his work as a whole can be regarded only as an attempt to present the doctrines of the Cartesian school in a form which would not shock the conscience of his time.

	Rohault's System of Natural Philosophy, Illustrated with Dr. Samuel Clarke's Notes Taken mostly out of Sr. Isaac ...
		Samuel Clarke (1675-1729), probably the closest Newtonian equivalent of Rohault as a proponent and popularizer of a prevailing system of natural philosophy, undertook his own Latin translation of the Trait (first published in 1697) partly to correct Bonet's faulty translation and partly to undermine Rohault's Cartesianism by adding Newtonian marginal notes to counter the text.
		Clarke's addition of the notes introduced Newtonianism to Cambridge where Rohault's was the standard text in natural philosophy.
		The Clarke edition is still useful to modern historians of science as a single repository of principles defining the two prevailing philosophical systems of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Europe.
