Die "Geschichte der Gedankenfreiheit" ist ein faszinierendes Buch, das den Leser auf eine Reise durch die Jahrhunderte mitnimmt. Der Autor J. B. Bury erz hlt von der Antike, als der Geist frei war, von der griechischen und r mischen Zeit bis zum Mittelalter, als er gefangen gehalten wurde. Er beschreibt den Kampf um die Befreiung aus der Sklaverei der Gedanken in der Renaissance- und Reformationszeit und das rationale Denken im 17.-19. Jahrhundert. Es ist eine Geschichte des Erleuchtungsabenteuers, die bis zu ihrer Entwicklung zwischen den Jahrhunderten zur ckreicht. Ein Nachwort des Herausgebers nimmt Bezug auf das aktuelle Thema der Gedankenfreiheit im Zusammenhang mit dem Klima und der Energiewende. Obwohl das Buch um die Jahrhundertwende geschrieben wurde, ist der Kampf um die Gedankenfreiheit offensichtlich ein nie endender Weg. Es ist eine unverzichtbare Lekt re f r alle, denen Gedankenfreiheit wichtig ist.
