Description:Why is the twentieth century one of the great sceptical epochs of history? To discover the roots of today's religious doubts, Franklin L. Baumer explores the sceptical tradition of the West, particularly among its intellectuals, during the last four hundred years. Beginning in the seventeenth century, when science and philosophy challenged traditional concepts of nature and knowledge, he traces this tradition through the Age of Enlightenment, symbolized by Voltaire, to Nietzsche's claim in the nineteenth century that God himself was dead. In the present century, a profoundly secular age, Professor Baumer finds that former sceptics, increasingly aware of the importance of religion for the individual and for civilization, are searching for faiths appropriate to them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
