The Age of Reason

Více o knize

Focusing on the critique of organized religion, this treatise by Thomas Paine argues for a rational approach to faith, emphasizing empirical evidence from the natural world. It generated significant controversy upon publication, prompting Paine to relocate to France. He highlights inconsistencies in the Bible, advocating that reason should take precedence over religious dogma. This edition uniquely includes the often-overlooked Third Part of the essay, enriching the exploration of Paine's deist beliefs and challenges to traditional religious practices.
