Footnote
Note: From the 1640s until the 18th century, Dutch philosophy was dominated by the physics and metaphysics of Descartes. Adrian Hereboord (1614-1665) was the first professor of Philosophy at Leiden to be interested in the new philosophy and in the present work he examines propositions of his predecesor in the chair, Franco Burgesdijk, the last of old guard of Neo-Aristotelians. The work enjoyed a number of printed editions including several in England.
