Leibniz, who knew her Principles (1690) through van Helmont, wrote in 1697 that his views came ‘somewhat close’ to Conway’s; how far she shaped him is debated. G. W. Leibniz, letter to T. Burnett (1697); A. Conway, Principia philosophiae antiquissimae et recentissimae (1690); SEP “Anne Conway”

Conway rejected Hobbes’s materialism, including his claim that God is corporeal, holding that body as Hobbes conceives it could neither think nor feel (Principles, 1690, ch. 9). A. Conway, Principia philosophiae antiquissimae et recentissimae (1690), ch. 9; SEP “Anne Conway”

Conway held against Descartes that body and spirit differ only in degree, so matter is not dead extension (Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy, 1690). A. Conway, Principia philosophiae antiquissimae et recentissimae (1690), chs. 7–9; SEP “Anne Conway”

ईश्वर, ईसा और प्राणी: केवल एक ही प्रकार का द्रव्य है, जीवित और पूर्णता-योग्य।
मत
Conway’s only treatise, published in Latin after her death, rejects the dualism of Descartes as well as the materialism of Hobbes and the pantheism of Spinoza. There are three kinds of being: God, Christ as mediator, and creatures. All creatures share one substance; body and spirit differ only in degree, matter being spirit in a dense and sluggish state. Every creature is alive and capable of change, suffering purifies rather than destroys, and creatures can rise toward ever greater perfection. Leibniz, who learned of her work through Francis Mercury van Helmont, praised it, and today she is read as an original metaphysician of her century.
