Masham, Damaris Cudworth
View through CrossRef
Damaris Cudworth Masham (1659–1708) engaged in debates with Mary Astell and John Norris concerning the love of God and causation. She argued against their claim that creatures should not be loved in the same way as God. In addition, she argued against the Malebranchean view of occasionalism that Norris defends in the correspondence. In her correspondence with G.W. Leibniz, she stated that Leibniz's views have similar problems to those of Malebranche and argued that soul or spirits are extended in space. In her own works, she maintained that we come to the knowledge of God's existence through the knowledge of his works, that God provided us with desires for pleasure and happiness, which shows that he loves us and that we are immortal, and she advocated for women's education on religious grounds.
