Frans Hemsterhuis (1721-1790)

For a long time, Hemsterhuis sank more or less into oblivion. But recent decades have seen a revival of interest in this man, undeniably the most influential philosopher from the 18th-century Dutch Republic.

There is a printed edition of his collected work, in modern French and with a Dutch translation: Frans Hemsterhuis, Wijsgerige werken. Uitgegeven, ingeleid en van een commentaar voorzien door M.J. Petry (Budel: Damon/Leeuwarden: Fryske Akademy, 2001).

At Brill Publishers, the book is in Open Access available as ebook:


The Oeuvres Philosophiques include the following texts written by Hemsterhuis, together with a contemporary German translation, Vermischte philosophische Schriften:
