剑桥柏拉图主义者，亨利莫尔（1614-1687），他的《伦理学百科全书》（1667），被翻译成《美德论》。虽然这本书是广为人知的更多的时间，这是他的一个最被忽视的作品今天。在概述了更多的道德哲学的发展，我专注于三个方面的Enchiridion ethicum，使其具有鲜明的特点：更多的强调理性和激情的作用;他的概念的“boniform教师”的好可能被感知和享受;和他的帐户的自由意志作为一个内部原则的自决。我强调更多的两种类型的自愿行动之间的区别：自由行动，代理人能够行使选择和必要的行动，代理人的意志是如此确定，她/他没有选择。
Cambridge Platonist, Henry More (1614–1687), his Enchiridion ethicum (1667), which was translated as An Account of Virtue . Although this book was widely known in More’s time, it is one of his most neglected works today. After outlining the development of More’s moral philosophy, I focus on three aspects of Enchiridion ethicum which give it its distinctive character: More’s emphasis on the role of both reason and the passions; his conception of a ‘boniform faculty’ by which the good may be sensed and enjoyed; and his account of free will as an internal principle of self determination. I highlight More’s distinction between two types of voluntary actions: free actions where the agent is able to exercise choice and necessary actions where the will of the agent is so determined that s/he has no choice.
