In Ignes Fatui, Charles Thomas Taylor examines various
misapprehensions and misconceptions that interfere with clear
rational thought. The title of the book, a loanword from Medieval
Latin, means "foolish fires"-lights that occasionally appear in the
nighttime over marshy ground and are frequently attributable to the
combination of gases emitted by decomposed organic matter. The term
is sometimes used in modern times to suggest deceptive thoughts,
goals, or hopes. The first four chapters of Ignes Fatui consider
various common illusions that interfere with sound objective
thought in society. The fifth and final chapter considers the
illusions that prevent and consequently forestall any form of
effectual subjective thinking in personal life. The primary
objective of the book is to attempt to improve rational thought and
thereby reverse the general decline of faith in the power of reason
today.
