Titolo / Title: Ralph Cudworth e le origini della “filosofia della religione” in epoca moderna

Abstract: The first occurrence of the expression ‘Philosophy of Religion’ is in Ralph Cudworth’s book The True Intellectual System of the Universe, published in London in 1678. In my essay I relate this fact to the recent interpretations of the origins of modern philosophy of religion, arguing that there are valid reasons to attribute to Cudworth and the Cambridge Platonists a significant role in the formation of the philosophy of religion in modern thought.

Keywords: Ralph Cudworth; Cambridge Platonists; philosophy of religion.
