The Hammer of the Cartesians: Henry More's Philosophy of Spirit and the Origins of Modern Atheism is a 2013 book by David Leech, in which the author argues that Henry More’s spirit conception, influential upon Isaac Newton and Samuel Clarke, contributed to a slow secularization process internal to theistic culture and believes that the origins of modern speculative atheism can be traced back to conceptual changes in early modern metaphysics. [1] [2] [3] [4] Leech won the Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for the book. [5]
