William King (1650-1729) was perhaps the dominant Irish intellect
of the period from 1688 until his death in 1729. An Anglican
(Church of Ireland) by conversion, King was a strident critic of
John Toland and the clerical superior of Jonathan Swift.
Politically King was pivotal to the emergence of the modern concept
of the liberal nation state: his defence of the Church of Ireland
led him to develop a theory of national rights and privileges that
would influence thinkers such as Thomas Paine. King, a staunch
conservative, was nonetheless an honest intellectual, a modest and
devoted servant of his church and his nation and so at the very
heart of the European enlightenment.
