A Discourse Of Freethinking Occasioned By The Rise And Growth Of A Sect Called Freethinkers (1713)

""A Discourse of Freethinking: Occasioned by the Rise and Growth of a Sect Called Freethinkers"" is a book written by Anthony Collins in 1713. The book is a response to the rise of a group of people who called themselves ""Freethinkers"" and who rejected traditional religious beliefs and practices. Collins argues that freethinking is a necessary part of intellectual inquiry and that individuals should be free to question and challenge established beliefs. He also defends the importance of reason and evidence in shaping our beliefs and argues that blind faith is dangerous and misguided. The book is considered a landmark work in the history of freethought and has been influential in shaping modern secular and humanist thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
