No dust jacket. -- This monograph offers a critical and historically situated study of Anthony Collins (1676-1729), a significant yet understudied figure of early Enlightenment thought in England. The book reconstructs Collins's intellectual development and public engagement through extensive archival research, examining both published writings and personal correspondence, especially with John Locke and Pierre Desmaizeaux. O'Higgins positions Collins as both a product of his time and a contributor to the emerging rationalist and secularist discourse that shaped eighteenth-century intellectual culture. Early chapters focus on his formative friendships, notably with Locke, John Shute Barrington, and Samuel Bold, and trace Collins's divergence from Locke's moderate empiricism toward a more assertive freethinking posture. The author explores the intellectual function of Collins's library, mapping it as a resource base that informed his writings and theological critique. Subsequent chapters provide detailed analyses of Collins's principal texts: An Essay on the Use of Reason, The Discourse of Freethinking, A Philosophical Inquiry Concerning Human Liberty, and his critiques of prophecy and ecclesiastical authority. The book contextualizes Collins's arguments against contemporary Anglican orthodoxy and their alignment with broader deist and rationalist tendencies. O'Higgins documents Collins's public disputes with Samuel Clarke and William King, focusing on themes such as immaterialism, determinism, and scriptural authority. Particular attention is paid to how Collins adapted Lockean epistemology to challenge traditional claims of theological certainty, especially in regard to prophecy, miracle, and messianic expectation. The book situates Collins within transnational intellectual networks, drawing on Desmaizeaux's role in transmitting Collins's works and ideas across the Channel. The reception of Collins on the Continent, including translations, paraphrases, and critical responses in Dutch and French journals, is traced to demonstrate his relevance to Enlightenment debates in both Protestant and Catholic contexts. The author further examines Collins's role as a magistrate and landowner in Essex, revealing the intersection of his freethinking principles with civic responsibility and local political culture. Thematic concerns of the volume include Collins's engagement with Enlightenment rationalism, his sustained critique of theological orthodoxy, the development of freethought in early 18th-century England, and the transnational circulation of his ideas. These are framed within broader debates on reason and revelation, religious toleration, free will, prophecy, and the authority of ecclesiastical institutions. Collins emerges as a figure deeply engaged with the question of how reason, conscience, and public discourse intersect in the shaping of belief and governance. The book underscores his role in articulating a laicized, non-confessional model of truth-seeking within the emerging secular order. By closely analyzing Collins's use of sources, from early Christian texts to recent European scholarship, the study illuminates the dialogical character of his thought. The work contributes to scholarship on early modern intellectual history, Enlightenment theology, and the genealogy of secularism, highlighting Collins's role in debates on toleration, free inquiry, and doctrinal authority.

This book explores the dynamic relationship between education and wellbeing. It examines the theory underpinning the practice of education in different societies where spirituality and care are believed to be at the heart of all educational experiences. The book recognizes that, regardless of the context or type of educational experience, education is a caring activity in which the development of the whole person - body, mind and spirit - is a central aim for teachers and educators in both formal and informal learning. The chapters in this handbook present and discuss topics that focus on spirituality as an integral part of human experience and, consequently, essential to educational programs which aim to address personal and communal identity, foster resilience, empathy and compassion, and promote meaning and connectedness.
