:''Not be confused with Arthur "Isaac" Pereyre, a French officer of Jewish origin in the late nineteenth century.'' Isaac La Peyrère, or Pererius, (1596–1676) was a French Millenarian theologian and formulator of Pre-Adamite hypothesis. == Life == A converted Jew from Bordeaux, La Peyrère was a lawyer by training and a Calvinist by upbringing, though he later converted to Catholicism. La Peyrère served as secretary to the Prince of Condé on whose orders he lived for one month in 1654 in a house in the Southern Netherlands adjoining that of the recently abdicated Queen Christina of Sweden. Christina is said to have financed the anonymous publication of ''Prae-Adamitae''.〔Pyenson, 1989, p. 149.〕 During this time both Christina and La Peyrère met with Menasseh Ben Israel, who was later invited by Oliver Cromwell's government to England to negotiate the readmission of Jews to that country. Menasseh became a convert to La Peyrère's belief that the coming of the Jewish Messiah was imminent. La Peyrère also argued that Messiah would join with the king of France (that is, the Prince of Condé, not Louis XIV of France) to liberate the Holy Land, rebuild the Temple and set up a world government of the Messiah with the king of France acting as regent. It has since emerged that, in fact :"Condé, Cromwell and Christina were negotiating to create a theological-political world state, involving overthrowing the Catholic king of France, among other things".〔Garber & Ayers, ''Cambridge History of Seventeenth-Century Philosophy'', p. 407.〕 La Peyrère was influenced by Thomas Hobbes and was an influence on Baruch Spinoza. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isaac La Peyrère」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
