Michel le Vassor (1648?–1718) was a French Oratorian priest and author, who became a Protestant in exile in England. He is known for theological, historical and political works. ==Life== He was born in Orléans about 1648. Influenced by Nicolas Malebranche, but also close to Jansenist in his view, he tried fruitlessly to reconcile Malebranche with Antoine Arnauld in 1679.〔Steven M. Nadler, ''The Best of All Possible Worlds: A Story of Philosophers, God, and Evil in the Age of Reason'' (2010), p. 142; (Google Books ).〕 In fact Le Vassor's lectures on grace after Malebranche, given at Saint-Magloire, set off a substantial public debate involving Arnauld.〔Steven Nadler (editor), ''A Companion to Early Modern Philosophy'' (2008), p. 154; (Google Books ).〕〔Henri Gouhier, ''L'histoire philosophique du sentiment réligieuse en France'' (2000), p. 354; (Google Books ).〕 Le Vassor left the Oratorians in 1690.〔Louis Moréri, ''Le grand dictionnaire historique'' (1759 edition, edited by Claude-Pierre Goujet, Etienne-François Drouet), p. 488;(Google Books ).〕 In 1695 he was converted to Protestantism, and went to England via the Netherlands. There he was supported by William Bentinck, 1st Earl of Portland, and by Gilbert Burnet. He died in Northamptonshire.〔David Carnegie Andrew Askew, ''Protestant Exiles from France in the reign of Louis XIV: or, The Huguenot refugees and their descendants in Great Britain and Ireland'' (1871), p. 257; (archive.org )〕 He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1701.〔''The Record of the Royal Society of London'' (1912), p. 322; (archive.org )〕 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「Michel Le Vassor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
