Inhaltsangabe

This treatise examines the roles of ridicule and irony as tools of persuasion in writing, set against the backdrop of Enlightenment thought. It argues that wit and satire, when carefully applied, can clarify ideas, challenge dogma, and expose faulty reasoning. The discourse places rhetorical strategies in the broader context of philosophical debate and literary criticism of the early eighteenth century. With its blend of analysis and argument, A Discourse Concerning Ridicule and Irony in Writing highlights how humor and irony function not as mere ornament, but as powerful instruments in shaping discourse and influencing opinion.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Anthony Collins (1676-1729) was a wealthy English free thinker, deist, and materialist who in his later years became a country squire and local government official in Essex. Along with John Toland, Collins was the most significant member of a close-knit circle of radical free thinkers that arose in England in the first three decades of the eighteenth century.
