Reason the Only Oracle of Man Or A Compendious System of Natural Religion (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169797079)

""Reason the Only Oracle of Man Or A Compendious System of Natural Religion"" is a book written by Ethan Allen. It is a philosophical work that argues for the supremacy of reason in matters of religion. The book is divided into three parts. The first part presents a critique of traditional religion, arguing that it is based on superstition and ignorance. The second part offers a positive vision of a natural religion based on reason, which is free from dogma and superstition. The third part explores the implications of this natural religion for ethics, politics, and society. Throughout the book, Allen draws on the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and David Hume, as well as his own experiences as a revolutionary leader in the American colonies. Overall, ""Reason the Only Oracle of Man"" is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about religion and the role of reason in human affairs.1784. This work is alternately adorned with confutations of a variety of doctrines incompatible to it; deduced from the most exalted ideas which we are able to form of the divine and human characters, and from the universe in general.
