A Discourse Of Free Thinking: Occasioned By The Rise And Growth Of A Sect Called Free Thinkers (1713)

By Anthony Collins

Book Overview

""A Discourse of Free Thinking"" is a philosophical work written by Anthony Collins in 1713. The book is a response to the rise of a group of intellectuals known as Free Thinkers, who challenged traditional religious beliefs and values. Collins argues that free thinking is a natural and necessary part of human inquiry and that individuals should have the freedom to explore and question ideas without fear of persecution. He also critiques the dogmatic and authoritarian tendencies of organized religion, arguing that they stifle individual thought and creativity. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and remains a significant work in the history of philosophy and religious thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
