本文考察了笛卡尔神学家维迪奇的《反斯宾诺莎》（1690）。学者们在作品中观察到两种相反的取向。有些人认为，维德提供了一个彻底的笛卡尔驳斥斯宾诺莎。其他人发现，他有时不同意笛卡尔，并采取了斯宾诺莎主义的立场。本文通过比较维迪奇的《反斯宾诺莎》和他的早期作品来调和这些对立的解释。总的来说，维德试图通过运用笛卡尔的原则来反驳斯宾诺莎的一元论，这在他对上帝存在的讨论中尤为明显。然而，一旦他转向神的意志的问题，他公开反对笛卡尔的教学，并接近斯宾诺莎的必然性。他选择这样做是为了保持正统，逃避指控Socinian异端，其中保守的神学家佩特鲁斯货车马斯特里赫特对他的Theologia pacifica（1671）。本文的结论是，对苏西尼主义的普遍恐惧深刻地制约了世纪后期荷兰神学家对笛卡尔哲学的反应。
The present paper examines the Cartesian theologian Christoph Wittich’sAnti-Spinoza(1690). Scholars have observed two opposing orientations in the work. Some have argued that Wittich offered a thoroughly Cartesian refutation of Spinoza. Others have found that he sometimes disagreed with Descartes and adopted a Spinozistic position. This paper reconciles these contrasting interpretations by comparing Wittich’sAnti-Spinozawith his earlier work. In general, Wittich tried to refute Spinoza’s monism by mobilizing Cartesian principles, which is particularly perspicuous in his discussion of God’s being. However, once he turned to the issue of the divine will, he openly contradicted Descartes’ teaching and approached Spinoza’s necessitarianism. He chose to do so to remain orthodox, evading the accusation of Socinian heresy, which the conservative theologian Petrus van Mastricht had made against hisTheologia pacifica(1671). This paper concludes that the widespread fear concerning Socinianism deeply conditioned the way theologians reacted to the Cartesian philosophy in the Netherlands in the late seventeenth century.
