Pierre Bayle's Reformation: Conscience and Criticism on the Eve of the EnlightenmentSusquehanna University Press, 2001 - 476 Seiten Though admired by Diderot and Voltaire, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Frederick the Great and David Hume, his preoccupation with Christian dogmatists produced as much confusion as his condemnation of state and clerical persecution (eventually) produced admiration. He distinguished between good religious dogma and good citizens, insisting that the former does not necessarily produce the latter, an insight that scandalized many who thought him an atheist. |
