Studying both his private archive and published works, it illustrates how Toland moved in both subversive and elite political circles in England and abroad ... The book explores the connections between Toland's republican political thought and his irreligious belief about Christian doctrine, the ecclesiastical establishment and divine revelation, arguing that far from being a marginal and insignificant figure, he counted queens, princes and government ministers as his friends and political associates ... Overall, it illustrates how Toland's ideas and influence impacted upon English political life between the 1690's and the 1720's.Politics, culture, and society in early modern Britain.Philosophers18th centuryPhilosophers192Champion Justin615905MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910146931303321Republican learning1081789UNINA
