Book Synopsis The Huguenots and French Opinion, 1685-1787 by : Geoffrey Adams
Download or read book The Huguenots and French Opinion, 1685-1787 written by Geoffrey Adams and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 1991-12-23 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision of Louis XIV to revoke the Edict of Nantes and thus liquidate French Calvinism was well received in the intellectual community which was deeply prejudiced against the Huguenots. This antipathy would gradually disappear. After the death of the Sun King, a more sympathetic view of the Protestant minority was presented to French readers by leading thinkers such as Montesquieu, the abbé Prévost, and Voltaire. By the middle years of the eighteenth century, liberal clerics, lawyers, and government ministers joined Encyclopedists in urging the emancipation of the Reformed who were seen to be loyal, peaceable and productive. Then, in 1787, thanks to intensive lobbying by a group which included Malesherbes, Lafayette, and the future revolutionary Rabaut Saint-Étienne, the government of Louis XVI issued an edict of toleration which granted the Huguenots a modest bill of civil and religious rights. Adams’ illuminating work treats a major chapter in the history of toleration; it explores in depth a fascinating shift in mentalités, and it offers a new focus on the process of “reform from above” in pre-Revolutionary France.

Book Synopsis Philosophical Thoughts by : Denis Diderot
Download or read book Philosophical Thoughts written by Denis Diderot and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation of Denis Diderot's early 1746 work Philosophical Thoughts, his entry into a Philosophic life which would lead him to brush shoulders with the likes of Voltaire and Rousseau. This edition contains an afterword by the translator on Diderot's philosophy, a timeline of his life and works, and a glossary of the philosophic topics which recur in his works. "Pensées philosophiques" (Philosophical Thoughts) is a work that explores various philosophical ideas and reflects on the fundamental questions of human existence. Here he expresses a type of Deism, but later his opinions evolve. In this collection of thoughts, Diderot delves into topics such as the nature of God, the origin of the universe, the existence of evil, and the limitations of human knowledge. He engages the topic of critical thinking, challenging traditional religious and philosophical beliefs of his time but also, like Voltaire and Dostoevsky, understanding Atheism as a type of religion. Here he sees Deism as an answer, but later in his life be begins to understand Deism, non-Theism and likeminded philosophies as being a form of spiritual cowardice. Diderot's "Pensées philosophiques" demonstrates his intellectual curiosity and skepticism, laying the foundation for his later works and his role as a prominent Enlightenment thinker.

Book Synopsis The Structure and Form of the French Enlightenment, Volume 1 by : Ira O. Wade

This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author describes the influence on the Enlightenment of the intellectual currents that had been active in France, particularly the historical and humanistic esprit critique and the scientific esprit modern. In the first volume he traces the transformation they brought about in religion, ethics, aesthetics, science, politics, economics, and self-knowledge. His analysis of works by Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau—including the Encyclopedic—defines their organic unity and clarifies contradictions that appear to threaten the coherence, consistency, and logical continuity of the esprit philosophique.

Book Synopsis The Atheist's Bible: Diderot's 'Éléments de physiologie' by : Caroline Warman
Download or read book The Atheist's Bible: Diderot's 'Éléments de physiologie' written by Caroline Warman and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Love is harder to explain than hunger, for a piece of fruit does not feel the desire to be eaten’: Denis Diderot’s Éléments de physiologie presents a world in flux, turning on the relationship between man, matter and mind. In this late work, Diderot delves playfully into the relationship between bodily sensation, emotion and perception, and asks his readers what it means to be human in the absence of a soul. The Atheist’s Bible challenges prevailing scholarly views on Diderot’s Éléments, asserting its contemporary philosophical importance, and prompting its readers to inspect more closely this little-known and little-studied work. In this timely volume, Warman establishes the place of Diderot’s Éléments in the trajectory of materialist theories of nature and the mind stretching back to Epicurus and Lucretius, and explores the fascinating reasons behind scholarly neglect of this seminal work. In turn, Warman outlines the hitherto unacknowledged dissemination and reception of Diderot’s Éléments, demonstrating how Diderot’s Éléments was circulated in manuscript-form as early as the 1790s, thus showing how the text came to influence the next generations of materialist thinkers. This book is accompanied by a digital edition of Jacques-André Naigeon’s Mémoires historiques et philosophiques sur la vie et les ouvrages de Denis Diderot (1823), a work which, Warman argues, represents the first publication of Diderot’s Éléments, long before its official publication date of 1875. The Atheist’s Bible constitutes a major contribution to the field of Diderot studies, and will be of further interest to scholars and students of materialist natural philosophy in the Age of Enlightenment and beyond.

Book Synopsis Evolutionism in Eighteenth-century French Thought by : Mary Efrosini Gregory
Download or read book Evolutionism in Eighteenth-century French Thought written by Mary Efrosini Gregory and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how eight eighteenth-century French theorists - Maillet, Montesquieu, La Mettrie, Buffon, Maupertuis, Diderot, Rousseau, and Voltaire - addressed evolutionism. Each thinker laid down a building block that would eventually open the door to the mutability of species and a departure from the long-held belief that the chain of beings is fixed. This book describes how the philosophes established a triune relationship among contemporary scientific discoveries, random creationism propelled by the motive and conscious properties of matter, and the notion of the chain of being, along with its corollaries, plenitude and continuity. Also addressed is the contemporary debate over whether apes could ever be taught to speak as well as the issue of race and the family of man.
