Recenzii
This volume acheives its aims admirably.
it will be an essential next step in understanding a towering, wide-ranging, and too often underestimated figure in the English Enlightenment and, indeed, in the following century.
[A] welcome book... all the papers merit careful study.
All chapters in this anthology, Joseph Priestley: Scientist, Philosopher, and Theologian, provide rich material...for anyone interested in the unfolding dynamic of the European Enlightenment, especially the fascinating complex of science and religion period. Hopefully the anthology will go some little way to restoring the intellectual reputation of a richly deserving figure whose arguments...are as relevant today as they were over two hundred years ago when Priestley advanced them.
...Readable and perceptive...[a] stimulating and insightful volume...
'Priestley was a deeply religious man and a believer in the power of faith as a force for good in the world.' These words of Alison Kennedy speak for the whole of the life and teaching of Priestley. Every chapter in ths unique book bears out their truth. It is a book that will inspire and encourage all who read it.
All the chapters in this anthology provide rich material for school and university teachers, and they constitute simply a 'good read' for anyone interested in the unfolding dynamic of the European Enlightenment, especially the fascinating complex of science and religion in the period. Hopefully the anthology will go some little way to restoring the intellectual reputation of a richly deserving figure.
