Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book adeptly explores the reasons for the skepticism that pervaded the eighteenth century. The author examines the historical context, tracing the long period of religious wars and turmoil that preceded the skeptical era. They posit this intense, drawn-out conflict led to exhaustion and a reaction against religious dominance. The author also considers the rise of alternative ideas, such as the pursuit of wealth, military power, and speculative philosophy, which contributed to the dethronement of religion from its central position in European society. They discuss the role of spiritual despotism, particularly in the form of state churches backed by military force, in fueling resentment and disbelief. The book offers a thorough analysis of the causes and consequences of religious skepticism during this period, shedding light on a pivotal era in intellectual and cultural history.
