Excerpt from Oeuvres Philosophiques du Père Buffier: De la Compagnie de Jésus Avec Notes Et Introduction
A prendre ainsi en main la réhabilitation de la philoso phie d'un père jésuite, nous n'avons pas le mérite d'une certaine magnanimité, car cette philosophie dérive de la double influence de Descartes, censuré par la congrégation du Saint - Office, et du protestant Locke, car son esprit et sa méthode n'ont rien qui répugne à notre esprit et à notre mé thode car ses principes sont presque entièrement conformes à nos principes.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the ideas and influence of Jesuit priest, Father Buffier, whose philosophical perspectives emerged during a period when the Catholic Church vehemently opposed Cartesianism. Despite his affiliation with the Society of Jesus, Buffier demonstrated an openness to new ideas, drawing inspiration from both Descartes and Locke in developing his philosophical system. The crux of Buffier's philosophy lies in the concept of 'common sense,' characterized by universal and necessary truths that transcend individual experiences. By emphasizing the authority of common sense, Buffier sought to establish a philosophical foundation independent of dogma and revelation. This book explores the nuances of Buffier's philosophy, its relation to the broader philosophical landscape of the time, and its relevance to our understanding of the interplay between faith and reason.
