Beskrivelse af Deism In American Thought
Deism In American Thought is a comprehensive study of the role and influence of deism in the intellectual and cultural history of the United States. Written by historians William Riley and John Woodbridge, this book explores the origins, development, and impact of deism on American thought from the colonial era to the present day. The authors examine the beliefs and practices of prominent deists such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson, as well as the ways in which deism influenced American literature, politics, and social movements. They also explore the relationship between deism and other religious and philosophical traditions, such as Christianity, Unitarianism, and Transcendentalism. Throughout the book, Riley and Woodbridge provide a nuanced and balanced account of deism's role in American thought, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. They also offer a critical assessment of the contemporary relevance of deism in American society, and consider its potential for contributing to contemporary debates about religion, morality, and the meaning of life. Overall, Deism In American Thought is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of American intellectual and cultural life, as well as for those seeking a deeper understanding of the role of religion in the United States.THIS 48 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: American Thought: From Puritanism to Pragmatism, by Woodbridge Riley.
