Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book argues that Toland shaped the republican tradition after the Glorious Revolution into a practical and politically viable programme, focused not on destroying the monarchy, but on reforming public religion and the Church of England. The book also examines how Toland used his social intimacy with a wide circle of men and women (ranging from Prince Eugene of Savoy to Robert Harley) to distribute his ideas in private. It also explores the connections between Toland's erudition and print culture, arguing that his intellectual project was aimed at compromising the authority of Christian knowledge as much as the political power of the Church."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...Unmoglichkeit das letztere in Frage stellen mussten, wurde uns doch das erste dazu dienen, uns die grossere Gewissheit daruber zu geben. Denn ausser der unumganglichen Voraussetzung unserer Existenz bei dieser These: Ich zweifle, ob ich bin," ist klar, dass, was immer zweifelt, notwendig sein muss, als irgend etwas, das eine Behauptung aufstellt, und dieses Etwas nenne ich mein Selbst. Wir wollen nun scharf auf diese offenkundige Gewissheit dringen in all den Ubereinstimmungen und Verschiedenheiten unserer Begriffe bei rein spekulativen Dingen, und, soweit es moglich ist, bei den Gegenstanden der gewohnlichen Erfahrung (fur diese muss notgedrungen einigemal die Wahrscheinlichkeit eintreten, um die Unvollkommenheit der Beweisfuhrung zu ersetzen). Und wir konnen ohne ein lassiges Vertrauen auf Autoritat oder ein skeptisches Weiterschreiten ins Unbegrenzte erfolgreich die Wahrheit auffinden und sie aus den unterirdischen Hohlen, in denen man sie verborgen glaubt, ans Tageslicht bringen. Es ist uns unmoglich zu irren, solange wir die offenkundige Gewissheit zu unserem Fuhrer haben, und wir konnen niemals fehlgehen als dann, wenn wir davon abschweifen und unsere Freiheit missbrauchen, indem wir an einem Dinge das in Abrede stellen, was dazu gehort, oder ihm etwas zuschreiben, was wir nicht bei seinem Begriffe sehen. Das ist der erste und allgemeine Ursprung aller unserer Irrtumer. 16. Aber Gort, der weise Schopfer aller Dinge (immer sei mit Ehrfurcht sein Name genannt und seiner gedacht), der uns befahigt hat, die Dinge wahrzunehmen und Urteile daruber zu bilden, hat uns

Download or read book The Religious Beliefs of America's Founders written by Gregg L. Frazer and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Were America's Founders Christians or deists? Conservatives and secularists have taken each position respectively, mustering evidence to insist just how tall the wall separating church and state should be. Now Gregg Frazer puts their arguments to rest in the first comprehensive analysis of the Founders' beliefs as they themselves expressed them-showing that today's political right and left are both wrong. Going beyond church attendance or public pronouncements made for political ends, Frazer scrutinizes the Founders' candid declarations regarding religion found in their private writings. Distilling decades of research, he contends that these men were neither Christian nor deist but rather adherents of a system he labels "theistic rationalism," a hybrid belief system that combined elements of natural religion, Protestantism, and reason-with reason the decisive element. Frazer explains how this theological middle ground developed, what its core beliefs were, and how they were reflected in the thought of eight Founders: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Wilson, Gouverneur Morris, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and George Washington. He argues convincingly that Congregationalist Adams is the clearest example of theistic rationalism; that presumed deists Jefferson and Franklin are less secular than supposed; and that even the famously taciturn Washington adheres to this theology. He also shows that the Founders held genuinely religious beliefs that aligned with morality, republican government, natural rights, science, and progress. Frazer's careful explication helps readers better understand the case for revolutionary recruitment, the religious references in the Declaration of Independence, and the religious elements-and lack thereof-in the Constitution. He also reveals how influential clergymen, backing their theology of theistic rationalism with reinterpreted Scripture, preached and published liberal democratic theory to justify rebellion. Deftly blending history, religion, and political thought, Frazer succeeds in showing that the American experiment was neither a wholly secular venture nor an attempt to create a Christian nation founded on biblical principles. By showcasing the actual approach taken by these key Founders, he suggests a viable solution to the twenty-first-century standoff over the relationship between church and state-and challenges partisans on both sides to articulate their visions for America on their own merits without holding the Founders hostage to positions they never held.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberty of conscience and freedom of thought are twin, core components of modern life in societies across the world. The ability to pursue one?s vision of the right and the good, coupled with liberty to pursue individual reason and enlightenment, helped produce so much of modern life that we may be apt to forget that libertarian philosophy was not dictated by Nature. Freethought and Freedom surveys the long history of religious and intellectual liberty, exploring their key ideas along the way.

Download or read book Consciousness from Descartes to Ayer written by David Berman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title is meant to indicate that consciousness is being examined largely within the history of philosophy, and within the period of time from Descartes to Ayer. Investigators aiming to understand consciousness and minds usually try to take account of all individual human minds, so as to have the most data for the most encompassing induction. The problem with that approach is that because of the vastness of the data, its results tend to be vague, lacking the specificity of studies of individuals. On the other hand, the problem with studies of individuals is that they cannot guarantee generality, as the opposing method can. This book's distinctive approach aims at a middle way, getting the best of the two opposing methods by drawing its data from the history of philosophy, especially the history of the great philosophers.

Download or read book The Nazarene Gospel Restored written by Robert Graves and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 1075 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazarene Gospel Restored is Robert Graves's major work on the life of Jesus, written in collaboration with the distinguished Hebrew scholar Joshua Podro. The research and writing occupied them for over ten years, in a working relationship compounded, in John W. Presley's phrase, 'of argument, scholarship and mutual respect', in which the imaginative writer and the Hebraist drew on their vast knowledge of the ancient world to reveal an extraordinary new, 'true' story of Jesus. The result is, as Graves wrote to T.S. Eliot, 'a very long, very readable, very strange book', and one that Presley argues is as central to Graves's thought as The White Goddess. The Nazarene Gospel Restored was controversial when first published: the Church Times refused to advertise it, reviews were hostile, and Graves twice sued for libel. In the twenty-first century it is possible to read it in the context of a continuing engagement with the historical Jesus, both scholarly and popular. In this new edition, John W. Presley gives a detailed account of the composition and reception of the book, setting it in the context of Graves's writing and of biblical scholarship. The inclusion of Graves's Foreword and annotations for a project revised edition make this an indispensable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six myths lie at the heart of the American experience. Taken as aspirational, four of those myths remind us of our noblest ideals, challenging us to realize our nation's promise while galvanizing the sense of hope and unity we need to reach our goals. Misused, these myths allow for illusions of innocence that fly in the face of white supremacy, the primal American myth that stands at the heart of all the others.

Book excerpt: 'John Toland's Letters to Serena' is one of the most important texts of the early Enlightenment.
