About this title

Synopsis

Œdipus On The Sphinx Of The Nineteenth Century: Or, Politico-Polemical Riddles Interpreted, By An Old-Clothes Philosopher W. Brade by William Brade is a polemical treatise from the 1860s that braids philosophy, theology, and social criticism into a satirical indictment of religious intolerance and sacerdotal power. The work argues for a cosmical, materialist view of existence, challenging the immortality of the soul, the authority of biblical interpreters, and the dominance of clerical hierarchies. It juxtaposes science and religion, critiques modern Tyre, Nineveh, and other ancient empires as emblems of spiritual despotism, and defends a rational, evidence-based approach to knowledge. Throughout, Brade pursues the aim of overturning traditional dogma, exposing the paradoxes of orthodox doctrine, and advocating a philosophy grounded in natural law, empirical evidence, and active human duty over ritualistic worship. The book’s Preface and fourteen chapters lay out a broad program to reinterpret history, religion, and moral life in light of a secular, inductive worldview.
