Pantheisticon - John Toland - Bog

Pantheisticon: Or The Form Of Celebrating The Socratic Society is a philosophical work written by John Toland in 1751. The book is a manifesto of the Socratic Society, a fictional society of pantheists who worship the universe as the only god. The text is divided into three parts: the first part presents the principles of pantheism and the beliefs of the Socratic Society, the second part describes the rituals and ceremonies of the society, and the third part includes hymns and prayers to the universe. The book argues that the universe is divine and that all things are interconnected, and it advocates for a naturalistic and rational approach to religion. The Pantheisticon was controversial at the time of its publication, and it remains a significant work in the history of pantheism and natural religion.Part 1, The Morals And Axioms Of The Pantheists, Or The Brotherhood; Part 2, Their Deity And Philosophy; Part 3, Their Liberty, And A Law, Neither Deceiving, Nor To Be Deceived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
