A History of Freedom of Thought is a comprehensive book written by John Bagnell Bury that explores the evolution of the concept of freedom of thought in human history. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the ancient Greeks and Romans to the Enlightenment and modern times. Bury examines the major historical events and figures that have shaped the development of freedom of thought, including the rise of Christianity, the Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment. He also discusses the role of censorship, religious persecution, and political repression in limiting freedom of thought throughout history. The book provides a detailed analysis of the philosophical, religious, and political debates that have shaped our understanding of freedom of thought, and it offers insights into the ongoing struggle to protect this fundamental human right. Overall, A History of Freedom of Thought is a thought-provoking and informative book that sheds light on one of the most important and enduring concepts in human history.In the same year John Locke's famous (first) Letter concerning Toleration appeared in Latin. Three subsequent letters developed and illustrated his thesis. The main argument is based on the principle that the business of civil government is quite distinct from that of religion, that the State is a society constituted only for preserving and promoting the civil interests of its members --civil interests meaning life, liberty, health, and the possession of property.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
