The Religion Of Nature Delineated

The Religion of Nature Delineated by William Wollaston is a philosophical treatise that explores the concept of nature as a divine force that governs the universe. The author argues that the laws of nature are evidence of a higher power and that human beings can gain insight into the divine through observation and contemplation of the natural world.Wollaston's work is divided into two parts. The first part lays out his basic philosophy of nature, including his belief that the universe is governed by immutable laws and that human beings have a duty to live in accordance with those laws. He also argues that morality is inherent in nature and that humans can discern right from wrong by observing the natural world.In the second part of the book, Wollaston applies his philosophy to various aspects of human life, including politics, economics, and religion. He argues that political systems should be based on natural law, that economic systems should be guided by the principles of fairness and justice, and that religion should be grounded in the observation and contemplation of nature.The Religion of Nature Delineated was first published in 1722 and became a popular work of philosophy during the Enlightenment. It influenced many thinkers of the time, including Benjamin Franklin, who was known to carry a copy of the book with him. Today, the book is considered a classic of natural theology and an important work in the history of philosophy.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1750 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
