Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of Q&A exchanges that took place in 1708-9 between scholars and the author, writing under the persona of Apollo. The questions and answers range across multiple topics from science and astronomy to metaphysics and religion, as well as more whimsical philosophical musings about the purpose of sex and the characteristics of a good fart, providing a fascinating glimpse into the preoccupations and beliefs of the time. The author, who draws from the wisdom of the past as well as his own learning, shows himself to be a man of science and deep religious faith. His perspective is a reflection of the natural philosophy of his day, suffused with elements of ancient Greek thought, Christian doctrine, and the emerging scientific method. The book is a treasure trove of insights into how people understood the universe 300 years ago.
