Opposition to atheism flourished in the seventeenth century, and
famed scientist-philosopher Robert Boyle (1627-91) was so opposed
to it that he had planned throughout his life to publish a work on
his various objections, a project that never came to fruition.
Despite this, a great deal of his thought on atheism still exists
within the manuscripts he left behind after his death. With Boyle
on Atheism, J.J. MacIntosh has culled the Boyle manuscripts held at
the Royal Society Library in London and transcribed the portions
that relate to atheism, arranging them in the order Boyle appears
to have intended (as outlined in one of the pieces). The volume
contains Boyle's views on the causes (and remedies) of atheism, the
nature of God, various possible arguments for God's existence, the
excellency of Christianity, and the character of atheists and the
deficiencies to be found in their arguments. To round out the
volume, MacIntosh has added a short biography of Boyle, a general
introduction to the text, introductions to the various sections,
and explanatory footnotes. Boyle on Atheism provides, for the first
time, and at length, publication of the material that Boyle himself
thought worth marshalling on a subject of great personal
importance.
