The masterpiece of Ralph Cudworth’s The True Intellectual System of the Universe won the attention of the European public from the end of the seventeenth century onwards by its account of the genesis, development and growth of both Atomism and Atheism, from Antiquity to Early Modern Times, and by its discussions on religion, biology, psychology, botany, physics, and philosophy. Its message was deeply diffused among writers and scholars in very different traditions (such as Locke, Leibniz, Newton, Schelling and Coleridge). This work was widely studied as a set text in many Universities, not least at the Tubinger Stift (where Schelling, Holderlin and Hegel studied in the 1780s) and at the University of Jena.
