In the spirit of the new naturalism, Adriaan Koerbagh defends in Een Ligt schijnende in duystere plaatsen (1668) the freedom to philosophize with a fundamental critique of religion and metaphysics. He links this criticism to the politically radical, anti-hierarchical idea of universal equality and freedom. Moreover, by writing in Dutch, he addresses a broad audience with this explosive mixture of ideas. At the very center of his naturalism is the idea of an indifferent God or nature. He criticizes, unmasks, and translates improper language that is aimed at deception and oppression, and leads to violence. His loanword dictionary Een Bloemhof van allerley lieflijkheyd sonder verdriet (1668) can be seen as the preparatory handwork to this critical project. Koerbagh thereby places himself in the line of the clandestine freethinkers such as Vanini, the anonymous authors of Theophrastus redivivus and De jure ecclesiasticorum, Spinoza, and the clandestine text written ‘in the spirit of Spinoza,’ Traité des trois imposteurs. I will illustrate this genealogical line and thus illuminate the significance of this (politically) subversive thinker for the radical Enlightenment.

Adriaan Koerbagh,“一位出色的数学家,但还是一位邪恶的学者”

本着新自然主义的精神,阿德里亚安·科巴格Adriana Koerbagh)在杜恩·普拉特森Ey Ligt schijnende)捍卫duystere plaatsen(1668)中,以对宗教和形而上学的基本批判来进行哲学自由。他将此批评与普遍平等和自由的政治激进,反等级观念联系起来。此外,通过用荷兰语写作,他用这种爆炸性的思想向广大读者发表了讲话。他自然主义的核心思想是冷漠的上帝或自然。他批评,揭露和翻译旨在欺骗和压迫并导致暴力的不当语言。他的外来词字典Een Bloemhof van allerley lieflijkheyd sonder verdriet(1668)可以看作是这个关键项目的准备工作。Koerbagh因此将自己置于秘密自由思想者的行列中,例如Vanini,匿名的Theophrastus redivivusDe jure ecclesiasticorum,Spinoza的匿名作者,以及以“ Spinoza的精神”写作的秘密文本,Troitte des trois imposteurs。我将说明这一谱系,从而阐明这一(政治上)颠覆性思想家对于激进启蒙运动的意义。
