Sinossi
Excerpt from The Oracle of Reason, or Philosophy Vindicated, Vol. 1
The present age needed a few examples of sterling integrity and unflinching courage. Southwell and holyoake have furnished two, that will not soon be forgotten, and must fire every manly heart with a spirit of noble emulation. Southwell, single-handed, attacked the monster, superstition, in its very den. He challenged the big beast to mortal combat, and, though a prisoner, not a bone of his body is broken, not a drop Of his blood chilled, and now, as at first, his resolution is to destroy or be destroyed. Imprisonment will but give him ample leisure to grind his weapons, and train his body for another and more decisive encounter.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book boldly confronts the deeply entrenched beliefs of its time, challenging the very notion of God and the role of religion in society. The author, writing in the midst of a climate of religious fervor, argues that superstition has poisoned both politics and morality, leaving humanity trapped in a cycle of fear and ignorance. The book's central argument rests on the foundation of a "Theory of Regular Gradation," which posits that the human species has evolved from less complex forms of life, a notion considered deeply heretical at the time. The author further contends that true freedom requires the liberation of thought, arguing that blind faith impedes progress and perpetuates the control of religious authorities. Through a blend of philosophical discourse, historical analysis, and pointed critique, the book calls for a radical reevaluation of established religious dogma, advocating for a society where reason reigns supreme. The book's insights offer a powerful glimpse into the intellectual ferment of a period grappling with the tension between faith and reason.
