The collection was rehoused for preservation purposes, and arranged in chronologicalorder. All folders retain Richard H. Popkin's original titles.In 2014, as a part of a postdoctoral fellowship at the Clark Library and the ERC Grant Agreement “Conversion, OverlappingReligiosities, Polemics and Interaction: Early Modern Iberia and Beyond” (GA 323316-CORPI), Carlos Cañete created anin-depth listing of the contents of boxes 1-32. This material was added to the existing finding aid in 2016.BiographyRichard H. Popkin (December 27, 1923 – April 14, 2005) was a philosopher who specialized in the history of early modernanti-dogmatism and enlightenment philosophy. He was born in Manhattan to Louis and Zelda Popkin, who jointly ran asmall public relations firm. Popkin earned his Bachelor's degree at Colombia University, where he completed his Ph.D. in1950. During his career Popkin taught at Iowa State University, the University of Connecticut, Washington University in St.Louis, and the University of California, Los Angeles. He served as the founding chair of the philosophy department atUniversity of California, San Diego and twice as the Clark Library Professor at UCLA in 1981-82 and 1997-98. He was avisiting professor at UC Berkeley, Brandeis, Duke, Emory, and Tel Aviv universities, as well as Distinguished Professor at theCity University of New York. Popkin was also the founding director of the International Archives of the History of Ideas andthe first editor and president emeritus of the Journal of the History of Philosophy.Popkin is credited with bringing attention to the sceptical crisis in early modern Europe, and the role the revival and reformulation of classical scepticism played in shaping modern philosophy. His most notable work, the History of Scepticism From Erasmus to Descartes (Assen: Van Gorcum, 1960) introduced a previously unrecognized influence on Western thought in the seventeenth century: the Pyrrhonian Scepticism of the ancient Greek physician and philosopher Sextus Empiricus. Popkin continued to change the understanding of seventeenth century science and philosophy through demonstrating the impact of ancient Greek sceptical arguments about the impossibility of knowing the world and God in subsequent History of Scepticism editions, including studies From Erasmus to Spinoza (University of California Press, 1979) and From Savonarola

to Bayle (Oxford University Press, 2003).Popkin was also an internationally acclaimed scholar on Jewish and Christian millenarianism and messianism, and madescholars cognizant of the concepts as key factors in seventeenth century thought. In his many publications, which includeThe High Road to Pyrrhonism edited by Richard Watson and James Force (Austin Hill Press, 1980); The Third Force inSeventeenthCentury Thought (Leiden: Brill, 1992); and Messianic Revolution: Radical Religious Politics to the End of theSecond Millennium written with David S. Katz (Hill and Wang, 2000), Popkin’s approach created new perspectives on bothlittle-known figures, such as the French millenarian Isaac la Peyrère, and on major figures, specifically Spinoza and Newton.Of particular importance is the major role Popkin played in generating interest in Newton's legacy of non-scientificmanuscripts. The Newton Project, a program based at Imperial College, London and Cambridge dedicated to publishing fullonline editions of Newton manuscripts, owes much to Popkin’s early initiatives in the digital humanities at UCLA.Among his many honors, Popkin was awarded the Nicholas Murray Butler Medal by Columbia University and was a fellow ofthe American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was president emeritus and founding editor of the "Journal of the History ofPhilosophy." His many books include "The History of Scepticism from Erasmus to Spinoza," "The Third Force inSeventeenthCentury Thought;" "Introduction to Philosophy" (with Avrum Stroll); "The High Road to Pyrrhonism;" and"Messianic Revolution: Radical Religious Politics to the End of the Second Millennium" (with David S. Katz). He was editorand translator of selections from "Pierre Bayle's Historical and Cultural Dictionary" and edited the 1999 "Columbia Historyof Western Philosophy." Beyond his philosophical works, he is also noted for writing "The Second Oswald" in 1966, an earlywork questioning the lone gunman explanation of the John F. Kennedy assassination. As a researcher, Popkin shared fourdecades of involvement with the Clark Library, where he served as Clark Professor from 1981-81 and 1997-98 and led thedevelopment of the Clark lecture series on millenarianism and messianism.Popkin spent his later years living in Pacific Palisades, California, with his wife, Julie Popkin, nèe Greenstone (b. 1924),whom he married in 1944. They had three children, Margaret Popkin (who died in May, 2005), Jeremy Popkin (Professor ofPhilosophy at the University of Kentucky), and Susan Popkin. Richard Popkin died of emphysema in Los Angeles in April of2005.Scope and ContentConsists of correspondence, manuscripts, and notes of Richard H. Popkin from the years at the end of his graduate studiesuntil his death in 2005. The bulk of the collection contains Popkin’s personal academic research files that include handwritten and typed notes, letters, news articles, scholarly publications and manuscripts in addition to other documents.

Also it should be considered that the book about La Peyrère was a projectthat took Popkin many years to finish and that could probably be related with themany references to difficulties and depression found in these notes. In relation to thisperiod of his life see: Popkin, R. H. (1988): “Intellectual autobiography: warts and all”.In The Sceptical Mode in Modern Philosphy. Essays in Honor of Richard H. Popkin (R.
