John Toland's Pantheisticon is presented here in a commemorative new edition translated into modern English. Pantheisticon explores Pantheist beliefs and community. Included is an explanatory essay by Dr Jason Cooper titled 'The Eternal Universe as God: Rediscovering Pantheisticon'. The essay establishes Toland as a key thinker of the Early Enlightenment and also a figure well ahead of his time. Dr Cooper explores the life of Toland, his influences and contributions to Philosophy, including Natural, Social, Political and Religious, and his ongoing relevance in the twenty-first century and beyond. Also included is a glossary detailing Toland's 'Universe of Terms' emerging from Pantheisticon and his earlier Letters to Serena (1704) that showcase his myriad contributions to Pantheism, Cosmology and the Philosophy of the Universe. The edition will please not only Pantheists but anyone wanting to know more about the key writings of one of history's greatest advocates of freedom and individualism.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

A revealing and controversial account of the events surrounding Pearl HarborPulitzer Prize-winning author John Toland presents evidence that FDR and his top advisors knew about the planned Japanese attack but remained silent.Infamy reveals the conspiracy to cover up the facts and find scapegoats for the greatest disaster in United States military history.

This magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning history, told primarily from the Japanese viewpoint, traces the dramatic fortunes of the Empire of the Sun from the invasion of Manchuria to the dropping of the atomic bombs, demolishing many myths surrounding this catastrophic conflict.Why did the dawn attack on Pearl Harbor occur? Was was inevitable? Was the Emperor a puppet or a warmonger? And, finally, what inspired the barbaric actions of those who fought, and who speak here of the unspeakable - murder, cannibalism and desertion?

Libre-penseur, John Toland obligea, par sa philosophie rationaliste, prendre s rieusement en consid ration les questions que pose le canon biblique. N le 30 novembre 1670 dans le comt de Donegal, en Irlande, John Toland est lev dans la foi catholique, mais se convertit l'anglicanisme avant l' ge de vingt ans. Il fr quente les universit s de Glasgow, d' dimbourg, de Leiden et d'Oxford entre 1687 et 1695. En 1696, il publie le c l bre Christianity Not Mysterious (Le Christianisme sans myst res), dans lequel il s'efforce de montrer qu'il n'est pas n cessaire de croire dans certaines doctrines bibliques pour les comprendre mais qu'au contraire elles sont parfaitement intelligibles pour la raison humaine sans l'aide d'aucune r v lation divine. L'ouvrage d clenche un flot de protestations, et Toland est traduit en justice dans le Middlesex. Apr s s' tre enfui Dublin, le th ologien apprend que le Parlement irlandais condamn son texte et ordonn son arrestation. Toland se r signe donc rentrer en Angleterre. Le Christianisme sans myst res est la premi re oeuvre publi e de John Toland. OEuvre scandale, ce texte entrem le les poncifs de l'anticl ricalisme et de la libre-pens e aux principes de la critique biblique arminienne et ceux de la no tique lockienne, pour d montrer que rien, dans la r v lation chr tienne, ne saurait tre tenu pour contraire ou au-dessus de la raison. Le Christianisme sans myst res ouvre l'importante s rie des oeuvres critiques de Toland concernant le christianisme primitif, mais il pose aussi, indissociablement, les principes d'une d fense politique, religieuse et philosophique de l'h t rodoxie.

Ami Lecteur, je vous pr sente la Formule d'une nouvelle Soci t , par le moyen de laquelle vous pouvez devenir meilleur et plus sage, et qui vous rendra toujours joyeux et souverainement content. L'envie que j'ai de rendre service au Genre humain et mon attachement pour la V rit ternelle ont galement contribu m'y engager. Il n'est point de mon int r t de dire par quel hasard et par les soins de qui cet ouvrage est mis en lumi re, et il vous importe peu de le savoir. Il faut juger de ces sortes de mati res par elles-m mes, tant incapables d'acqu rir par des secours trangers un nouveau prix ni une plus grande autorit . Le commun des hommes s'oppose la science et poursuit ses sectateurs; mais, comme l'enseigne fort bien S n que, rien n'est plus raisonnable que de ne pas suivre aveugl ment, et comme font les b tes, ceux qui marchent devant nous, car cela nous m ne non pas o il faut aller, mais o vont les autres... Pour vous, Ami lecteur - si vous voulez avoir pour guide la raison et non pas la coutume - vous verrez au-dessous de vous tous les v nements qui arrivent aux hommes. Ou du moins vous supporterez d'un esprit gal et tranquille votre sort quel qu'il soit; vous bannirez la folle ambition et l'envie qui ronge l' me; vous m priserez les honneurs p rissables, sachant que vous devez vous-m me p rir sous peu; vous m nerez une vie contente et tranquille, sans admiration et sans horreur pour rien (...) et je n'aurai plus vous souhaiter que de la sant et de la sagesse, lorsque vous aurez connu que cette description de notre Soci t n'est point th ologique, mais philosophique; car c'est une chose tr s diff rente que d'expliquer la Nature ou d'enseigner une religion. (Janus Junius Eoganesius - John Toland)

In measure theory, a familiar representation theorem due to F. Riesz identifies the dual space Lp(X,L,?)* with Lq(X,L,?), where 1/p+1/q=1, as long as 1 = pL8(X,L,?)* cannot be similarly described, and is instead represented as a class of finitely additive measures.This book provides a reasonably elementary account of the representation theory of L8(X,L,?)*, examining pathologies and paradoxes, and uncovering some surprising consequences. For instance, a necessary and sufficient condition for a bounded sequence in L8(X,L,?) to be weakly convergent, applicable in the one-point compactification of X, is given.With a clear summary of prerequisites, and illustrated by examples including L8(Rn) and the sequence space l8, this book makes possibly unfamiliar material, some of which may be new, accessible to students and researchers in the mathematical sciences.
