Synopsis
Excerpt from History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 1 of 2
It only remains to say that, in the sections referring to Shaftesbury, Mandeville, and Warburton, I have in part reproduced articles of my own already published in my Essays on Freethinking and Plainspeaking, and that the sections upon William Law have appeared in the second series of my Hours in a Library.'

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intellectual ferment of 18th-century England, a period marked by dramatic shifts in philosophical and theological thought. The author examines the rise of deism, a movement that questioned traditional religious beliefs and emphasized reason over revelation. The book delves into the key figures and controversies of this era, including the influential works of Locke, Toland, Clarke, Wollaston, and Tindal, as well as the critical responses of their contemporaries. It analyzes the impact of philosophical thinkers such as Descartes, Berkeley, and Hume, whose skeptical inquiries challenged established notions of knowledge and reality. The book also examines the social and political context of this intellectual revolution, exploring how shifting societal structures, the growth of commerce, and the rise of scientific inquiry influenced the development of new ideas. The author explores how these changes impacted the traditional authority of the Church, the nature of political power, and the relationship between faith and reason. This book provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the complex and often contradictory currents of thought that shaped 18th-century England, revealing how these intellectual battles ultimately paved the way for the Enlightenment and its enduring influence on Western civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330658543_0
