Unbelief Traced From Spencer to Hume in Eighteenth Century Thought
A condensed study traces unbelief from Lockes and Berkeley through Hume to Spencer and Darwin, describing how empiricism eroded belief in God and soul, influencing literature, religion, and society in eighteenth and nineteenth century Europe, with the spread of materialist philosophy and its social impact. The piece links Locke, Hume, Berkeley, Kant, and Darwin to the rise of skepticism and its reversals in culture and theology.
