The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

What did unauthorized thought look like in the French Renaissance, the Reformation, up to the early Enlightenment? Pantheism, atheism, deism, hedonism, and free philosophy in general. What happened to those who wrote books like these? They were decapitated, hung, strangled, burned, had their tongues cut out; they were also exiled, their books were burned, and their property was confiscated by the state hand handed to the Church. This collection consists of ten separate texts by different authors; each with an individual introduction by the translator. All of them have been newly translated here, some for the first time in centuries, many for the first time ever: -The amusing, extremely blasphemous dialogues from 1537 called 'Cymbalum Mundi', attributed to Bonaventure des P riers (1510-44);-The short atheistic text called 'Illustrious Reader', attributed to Jacques Gruet (?-1547), who was put to death for his beliefs in John Calvin's Geneva;-The controversial 'The Beatitude of the Christians, or the Scourge of Faith', by Geoffroy Vall e (1535-74), who was put to death for writing this book;-Selections on (secular) ethics and religion from 'On Wisdom' by Pierre Charron (1541-1603);-Selections on evolution and religion from 'De Admirandis Naturae Reginae...' by Lucilio Vanini (1585-1619), the famous martyr for free thought;-The poem "First Satire" by Th ophile de Viau (1590-1626), another victim of the thought police;-The poem "The Deist's Quatrains", attributed to Claude Belurgey;-"A Dialogue on the Subject of the Private Life", by Fran ois de La Mothe Le Vayer (1588-1672);-A Selection of Libertine and Atheistic Songs by Claude de Chouvigny, baron de Blot l' glise (1605-55);-The hedonistic manuscript called "The Anti-Christian Philosopher", whose author is unknown, from the 1640s or '50s.
