Description

Explore the intellectual development of one of the most controversial doctrines in British history. This Routledge Library Edition provides a detailed account of how atheism evolved from the era of Hobbes to the time of Russell. While open atheism did not officially appear in Britain until 1782, this book uncovers the presence of covert atheists dating back to the mid-seventeenth century. Dr. Berman traces this fascinating strand of intellectual history to explain why atheism sparked such intense horror and abuse throughout the centuries. By examining the transition from hidden beliefs to public discourse, readers gain a deeper understanding of the social and cultural shifts within British religious thought. This volume is an essential resource for students and readers interested in the history of ideas and the philosophy of religion.
