- Abstract
The article presents an in-depth exploration into the theological views of the 17th-century English philosopher Samuel Clarke, highlighting the parallels between his views and those of his intellectual contemporary Isaac Newton. Subjects addressed include Clarke's conceptions of the Trinity, the relation between the body and soul, and the conditions of the future life. Details are given describing how Clarke came into conflict with religious leaders over his views and how he avoided publicizing them. Comments are also given reflecting upon the influences between the two figures.
