If our major political, ethical, and epistemic doctrines were solely rooted in Christian genealogies, it would seem necessary to include Christianity in the European Constitution. However, this book reveals a different story. The anthropological insights gained from encounters with other lands not only enriched the ethical and political discussions of philosophers, historians, and literati, but also paralleled the incorporation of empirical data from these regions into fields like medicine, botany, or navigation. These accounts became the building blocks for ethical and political thought, a wellspring of new ideas, thereby making the understanding of other cultures and religions pivotal in reflecting upon the specificities of Europe. Pierre Bayle's work exemplifies this transformative influence. 410 0$aInternational Archives of the History of Ideas Archives internationales d'histoire des idées,$x2215-0307 ;$v251 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aHistory of Religion 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 676 $a194 700 $aGarcía-Alonso$b Marta$01815468 701 $aLaursen$b John Christian$0281608 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910951796403321 996 $aThe Importance of Non-Christian Religions in the Philosophy of Pierre Bayle$94370458 997 $aUNINA
