Franciscus van den Enden
About
Franciscus van den Enden, in later life also known as 'Affinius' (Latinized form of 'Van den Enden') (c.– 27 November 1674) was a Flemish Jesuit, Neo-Latin poet, physician, art dealer, philosopher, and plotter against Louis XIV of France. Born in Antwerp, where he had a career as a Jesuit and an art dealer, he moved later to the Dutch Republic where he became part of a group of radical thinkers sometimes referred to as the Amsterdam Circle who challenged prevailing views on politics and religion. He was a Utopian planning to set up an ideal society in the Dutch colonies in America and a proponent of democracy in the administration of states. He is mainly known as a teacher of Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677), whose philosophical ideas he may have influenced.
