"The book argues that Toland shaped the republican tradition after the Glorious Revolution into a practical and politically viable programme, focused not on destroying the monarchy, but on reforming public religion and the Church of England. The book also examines how Toland used his social intimacy with a wide circle of men and women (ranging from Prince Eugene of Savoy to Robert Harley) to distribute his ideas in private. It also explores the connections between Toland's erudition and print culture, arguing that his intellectual project was aimed at compromising the authority of Christian knowledge as much as the political power of the Church."--Jacket.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...Unmoglichkeit das letztere in Frage stellen mussten, wurde uns doch das erste dazu dienen, uns die grossere Gewissheit daruber zu geben. Denn ausser der unumganglichen Voraussetzung unserer Existenz bei dieser These: Ich zweifle, ob ich bin," ist klar, dass, was immer zweifelt, notwendig sein muss, als irgend etwas, das eine Behauptung aufstellt, und dieses Etwas nenne ich mein Selbst. Wir wollen nun scharf auf diese offenkundige Gewissheit dringen in all den Ubereinstimmungen und Verschiedenheiten unserer Begriffe bei rein spekulativen Dingen, und, soweit es moglich ist, bei den Gegenstanden der gewohnlichen Erfahrung (fur diese muss notgedrungen einigemal die Wahrscheinlichkeit eintreten, um die Unvollkommenheit der Beweisfuhrung zu ersetzen). Und wir konnen ohne ein lassiges Vertrauen auf Autoritat oder ein skeptisches Weiterschreiten ins Unbegrenzte erfolgreich die Wahrheit auffinden und sie aus den unterirdischen Hohlen, in denen man sie verborgen glaubt, ans Tageslicht bringen. Es ist uns unmoglich zu irren, solange wir die offenkundige Gewissheit zu unserem Fuhrer haben, und wir konnen niemals fehlgehen als dann, wenn wir davon abschweifen und unsere Freiheit missbrauchen, indem wir an einem Dinge das in Abrede stellen, was dazu gehort, oder ihm etwas zuschreiben, was wir nicht bei seinem Begriffe sehen. Das ist der erste und allgemeine Ursprung aller unserer Irrtumer. 16. Aber Gort, der weise Schopfer aller Dinge (immer sei mit Ehrfurcht sein Name genannt und seiner gedacht), der uns befahigt hat, die Dinge wahrzunehmen und Urteile daruber zu bilden, hat uns
