""A Short History of Free Thought: Ancient and Modern"" is a book written by John M. Robertson, which provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of free thought throughout human history. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering the ancient period, from the Greeks to the Roman Empire, and the second volume covering the modern period, from the Renaissance to the 20th century.In the first volume, Robertson examines the origins of free thought in ancient Greece, where philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle challenged traditional beliefs and sought to understand the world through reason and observation. He then explores how these ideas were adopted and adapted by the Roman Empire, which was characterized by a complex interplay between pagan and Christian beliefs.The second volume of the book focuses on the modern period, which saw the rise of humanism, the Enlightenment, and the scientific revolution. Robertson traces the development of free thought through the works of key figures such as Descartes, Spinoza, Voltaire, and Darwin, and explores how their ideas challenged established religious and political institutions.Throughout the book, Robertson emphasizes the importance of free thought as a driving force behind human progress and intellectual development, and argues that it is essential for individuals to be able to think critically and independently in order to advance society as a whole. Overall, ""A Short History of Free Thought"" is a thought-provoking and informative exploration of one of the most important concepts in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
