København : Museum Tusculanums, 2006 9788763505024 (OCoLC)500720416 330 $aThe philosopher Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) is one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of the European Enlightenment. He was persecuted by the Catholics for his Calvinist beliefs. He was seen as a heretic by his co-religionists because of the doubt that was an essential part of his view of life. He became an icon for many of the Enlightenment?s most prominent figures because of his inveterate defence of religious tolerance. He is widely unknown in today?s Denmark. You could call him a figure of Christian Enlightenment, a tolerant warrior, born in a time of war, where Catholic France carried through a bloody showdown with its Protestant population. He was an exceptionally gifted thinker who spoke on behalf of toleration, thus becoming an emblematic figure for Enlightenment thinkers as Montesquieu and Voltaire. Religious fanaticism was Bayle?s primary enemy; the contending parties should be brought to an awareness of their lack of tolerance. His life and battles seems like a prelude to the Enlightenment. Because of this Bayle and his writings are important elements in a still on-going battle: the battle between fanaticism and tolerance. 410 0$aRomanske skrifter,$x1395-4873 ;$vbd. 15 606 $aReligion: general$2bicssc 606 $aComparative religion$2bicssc 615 7$aReligion: general 615 7$aComparative religion 676 $a844.0092 700 $aPedersen$b John$f1934-$0987144 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910130830603321 996 $aTvivl og tolerance$92256043 997 $aUNINA
