Sažetak
This paper argues that Gabriel Plattes, a less known member of the Hartlib Circle, makes an interesting contribution to the project of moral reformation, developing important moral and political ideas and continuing some of the Baconian ideals (such as the importance and the moral dimension of the advancement of learning). His works are a response to the Baconian “quest for knowledge” and a continuation of the privileged time idea according to which the reform of knowledge (and the restoration) will be achieved in the near future, a providential time in history. Also, Plattes adopted the Baconian idea of instituting a new method for knowledge production, in the meantime, emphasizing the importance of the institutions involved in the reform of knowledge.
