Freethought and Freedom: The Essays of George H. Smith Kindle Edition

5.0 out of 5 stars 7 ratings

Liberty of conscience and freedom of thought are twin, core components of modern life in societies across the world. The ability to pursue one’s vision of the right and the good, coupled with liberty to pursue individual reason and enlightenment, helped produce so much of modern life that we may be apt to forget that libertarian philosophy was not dictated by Nature. Freethought and Freedom surveys the long history of religious and intellectual liberty, exploring their key ideas along the way.

Top reviews from the United States

  • Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    These are very lucid short essays offering a small portion of the history of religious unbelief in the West, including ancient and medieval Christians outlawing heresy and the 17th and 18th centuries Deist phenomenon springing from Christian heretics. 'Freethought' came to characterize religious dissent and eventually outright unbelief in God. The book is suitable for all adult readers and even for college courses.
