520 |a This article is the first systematic philosophical analysis of Henry More's ethics as set out in his Enchiridion Ethicum (1668). It builds on the insights of scholars who have identified love as a key concept in the thought of the Cambridge Platonists. It contends that More's ethics ought to be read as a philosophy of love, integrating the rational and spiritual, intellect and will, and the divine and human through an appeal to a prayerful logic of love. Special attention is paid to More's so-called moral axioms - what he calls Moral Noemata - which develop a logic that aims at the purification of the soul; they do not, pace modern scholars, equate moral and mathematical certainty, nor do they pave the way for the emergence of a secular morality. This article addresses the implications of More's claim that the passions are good and how they are made virtuous. It shows how his idea of free will depends on the virtue of humility and the soul's participation in divine wisdom. This article also includes important analysis of "Right Reason" and the "Boniform Faculty", doctrines central to More's ethics, and how they meet when the soul falls in love with God.
