Synopsis

""Reason the Only Oracle of Man"" is a book written by Ethan Allen that presents a comprehensive system of natural religion. The book argues that reason is the only reliable source of knowledge about the world and that it is through reason that we can come to understand the nature of God and our place in the universe. Allen draws on a variety of sources, including philosophy, science, and theology, to build his case for natural religion. He also addresses a number of pressing social and political issues of his time, including slavery, war, and the role of government. The book is a fascinating exploration of the relationship between reason and faith, and offers a compelling vision of a world in which reason and morality are the guiding principles of human life.1784. This work is alternately adorned with confutations of a variety of doctrines incompatible to it; deduced from the most exalted ideas which we are able to form of the divine and human characters, and from the universe in general.
