Excerpt from Correspondance de Marguerite d'Autriche, Duchesse de Parme, Avec Philippe II: Suivie des Interrogatoires du Comte d'Egmont Et de Quelques Autres Pieces
Si l'autorité est une des sources essentielles de la certitude, elle n'est ni la seule ni la première, et, au - dessus de toutes les influences qui agissent sur notre entendement, plane la liberté. Lorsque la somme des idées livrées à l'activité de notre esprit est peu considérable, cette liberté se soumet volontiers à un symbole imposé, mais dès que les notions les moins sympathi ques se multiplient, le besoin de juger et de choisir est une des nécessités impérieuses de notre nature; ce n'est pas seule ment le scepticisme qui doute, c'est la foi qui ne sait où se prendre et qui, pressée de croire, se soulève comme l'incré dulité.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the events leading up to the Netherland Revolution of the 16th century, a pivotal moment in the struggle for religious and political freedom. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex factors that contributed to the outbreak of the revolt, including the heavy-handed rule of King Philip II of Spain, the influence of the Protestant Reformation, and the desire for greater autonomy among the Dutch people. The book examines the key figures involved in the conflict, such as William of Orange and the Duke of Alba, and explores the strategies and tactics employed by both sides. By contextualizing the revolution within the broader framework of European history, the author illuminates its significance as a watershed moment in the development of modern nation-states and the fight for individual liberties.
