Beschreibung:
Gianluca Mori is a professor in the History of Philosophy at UPO (Università del Piemonte Orientale), Vercelli, Italy. His main areas of research include Descartes and cartesianism, Pierre Bayle, early modern atheism and free thought from the middle of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteen century, and David Hume's philosophy of religion.
This book fills a gap as it poses, for the first time, the question of the philosophical meaning of atheism in the early modern period. The philosophy of Spinoza, Hobbes, Bayle, Meslier, Boulainviller, Du Marsais, Fréret, Toland, Collins, Hume, Diderot, Voltaire, and d'Holbach is explored and their positions are placed in a general interpretive scheme, based on the idea that atheism is itself an unwanted fruit of early modern metaphysics and theology.
