The Hammer of the Cartesians: Henry More's Philosophy of Spirit and the Origins of Modern Atheism is a 2013 book by David Leech, in which the author argues that Henry More’s spirit conception, influential upon Isaac Newton and Samuel Clarke, contributed to a slow secularization process internal to theistic culture and believes that the origins of modern speculative atheism can be traced back to conceptual changes in early modern metaphysics.[1][2][3][4] Leech won the Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for the book.[5]
