Publisher's Synopsis
""A Discourse of Free Thinking"" is a book written by Anthony Collins in 1713. The book was written in response to the rise and growth of a group called Free Thinkers. The author argues that free thinking is necessary for intellectual progress and that the suppression of free thinking is harmful to society. The book also discusses the role of reason and evidence in forming beliefs and argues against blind faith and superstition. Collins also explores the relationship between religion and morality, arguing that morality can exist independent of religion. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and remains a significant work in the history of philosophy and religious thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
