Welcome to the Lawrence Eleyot Online Book
More than anything else, this text-book is a critique of religion and its burgeoning growth of and hunger for power and control of the many, by the fanatical few in our early history.
By instilling fear and superstition, they were able to spread their ideas, which they did with unrelenting speed, and force their doctrine upon a superstitious populace. Any who stood in their way were accused of heresy and put to death in the most violent fashion.
Fear breeds fear and fear drove otherwise great minds to caution, unwilling to commit themselves publicly, thus holding up the advance of science, because it tended to disagree with religion.
Here are the very earliest philosophical thoughts and ideas of some 600 philosophers upon whose shoulders all of todays philosophers stand. A brief summary of their points of view and their place in time and history is available at the press of a button on your keyboard. Find them on the contents page, click on their era and read.
All the pains-taking work of research, is done and further references are given in the index.
This work is I believe, ideal for students of both philosophy and theology, for both were inextricably entwined in the earliest recorded history. Understanding our history of yesteryear gives us an insight and understanding of where we are today, and the pain and suffering our forebears went through so that the torch of learning might be carried forward throughout all time.
