Description

Explore the intellectual development of British atheism with this Routledge Library Edition. Originally published in 1987, Dr. Berman provides a detailed history that traces the evolution of these ideas from Thomas Hobbes to Bertrand Russell. This work examines why atheism has historically provoked such strong reactions and explores the tension between public doctrine and private belief. While open atheism did not emerge in Britain until 1782, this book identifies covert atheists dating back to the mid-seventeenth century. It offers a deep look into a fascinating strand of social and religious history, making it an essential read for students and readers interested in the history of philosophy and religious thought.
