The Age Of Unreason: Being A Reply To Thomas Paine, Robert Ingersoll, Felix Adler, O. B. Frothingham, And Other American Rationalists (1881

By Henry Athanasius Brann

Book Overview

The Age of Unreason is a book written by Henry Athanasius Brann in 1881. The book serves as a response to the works of American rationalists such as Thomas Paine, Robert Ingersoll, Felix Adler, O. B. Frothingham, and others. Brann critiques the rationalist movement and argues that reason alone cannot provide a complete understanding of the world. He believes that there are aspects of human experience that go beyond reason, such as faith and intuition. Brann also argues that rationalism can lead to a dangerous disregard for tradition and the wisdom of the past. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the limitations of reason and the importance of balancing it with other forms of knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
