This Is A New Release Of The Original 1685 Edition.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
