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

Jakob Boehme (1575-1624) was one of those remarkable teachers, like
Meister Eckhart, who pushed language to its limits to describe an
experience that happens above and beyond rational thought. He was a
Bohemian shoemaker who, in response to the overwhelming visionary
experiences he began to undergo as a teenager, wrote a series of
theosophical treatises that explored the relationship between the
One and the many, existence and nonexistence, the inner process of
divine emanation toward self-consciousness, the relationship of
good and evil, and the personal and cosmic urge toward
reintegration. Some hear in him resonances with alchemy, kabbalah,
and Platonism. His influence is seen in the Quakers, the German
Romantics, Pietism, various American utopian experiments, and in
the European mystics who came after him. The great scholar of
mysticism Evelyn Underhill called him "one of the most astonishing
cases in history of a natural genius for the transcendent."
Michael Birkel and Jeff Bach's translation liberates Boehme into
modern English. Previous editions have tended toward the academic,
or have been couched in intentionally archaic language reminiscent
of the King James Bible. This collection includes five essential
texts, among them "Life Beyond the Senses," Boehme's explanation of
the relationship between God and the soul.
