Pantheisticon: Or The Form Of Celebrating The Socratic Society is a philosophical book written by John Toland and published in 1751. The book is a fictional account of a secret society called the Socratic Society, which is based on the teachings of Socrates and the principles of pantheism. The book is divided into three sections, each of which describes the rituals and beliefs of the society. The first section provides an overview of the society and its members, while the second section describes the rituals and ceremonies that the members participate in. The third section presents a series of philosophical arguments in support of pantheism, including the idea that God is present in all things and that the universe is a manifestation of God. The book is considered to be one of the earliest works of pantheism and has been influential in the development of modern philosophy.Part 1, The Morals And Axioms Of The Pantheists, Or The Brotherhood; Part 2, Their Deity And Philosophy; Part 3, Their Liberty, And A Law, Neither Deceiving, Nor To Be Deceived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
