Excerpt from A Philosophical Inquiry Concerning Human Liberty
A few footnotes have been supplied where I thought they would assist the ordinary reader, or put him on his guard. Some of the writers referred to in the text were familiar enough to eighteenth-century readers, but they are now fallen dim; and Collins, writing as a Deist, and naturally anxious to repel the then terrible suspicion of Atheism, as well perhaps as to enmesh the theologers in their own net, rather over pressed his advantages from the free-will tendency of ancient atheists and the necessitarian tendency of Stoic philosophers and Christian divines. Other reasons for giving the present oday reader a little help will appear in the footnotes themselves. I have only to add that such footnotes are marked with my initials.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical and philosophical debates surrounding free will and determinism, focusing on the life and works of a prominent 18th-century freethinker. It explores the intellectual landscape of the Enlightenment era, where reason challenged traditional religious authority and sparked discussions about the nature of human agency. The author examines the freethinker's arguments against the notion of free will, contending that all human actions are determined by preceding causes. This book places these arguments within the context of the broader philosophical discourse of the time, engaging with the ideas of influential thinkers such as Locke, Clarke, and Berkeley. Furthermore, this book delves into the implications of determinism for morality, laws, and societal structures. It challenges the assumption that free will is necessary for ethical behavior and explores alternative foundations for a just and ordered society. This exploration encourages readers to critically examine their own beliefs about free will and consider the profound implications of determinism for our understanding of human nature and the world around us.
