About This Book

theologyphilosophyhistorymysticism

In the wake of the French Revolution, a bold new movement sought to replace dogmatic conflict with a 'natural religion' based on reason, science, and universal ethics. This manual offers a fascinating window into Theophilanthropy, a short-lived but ambitious attempt to unite humanity under the dual banners of love for God and love for one's neighbor. Readers will discover a unique synthesis of Enlightenment science and ancient wisdom, tackling the eternal questions of how to live a virtuous life and find proof of the divine in the smallest wonders of nature.
