Bayle and the American and African atheists (Laursen).  aThis book offers a fresh perspective on early modern philosophy by highlighting Pierre Bayle's engagement with non-Christian sources. If our major political, ethical, and epistemic doctrines were solely rooted in Christian genealogies, it would seem necessary to include Christianity in the European Constitution. However, this book reveals a different story. The anthropological insights gained from encounters with other lands not only enriched the ethical and political discussions of philosophers, historians, and literati, but also paralleled the incorporation of empirical data from these regions into fields like medicine, botany, or navigation. These accounts became the building blocks for ethical and political thought, a wellspring of new ideas, thereby making the understanding of other cultures and religions pivotal in reflecting upon the specificities of Europe. Pierre Bayle's work exemplifies this transformative influence. 0aPhilosophyxHistory. 0aReligionxHistory. 0aSciencexPhilosophy.14aHistory of Philosophy.24aHistory of Religion.24aPhilosophy of Science.1 aGarcía-Alonso, Marta.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt1 aLaursen, John Christian.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303164864908iPrinted edition:z978303164866308iPrinted edition:z9783031648670 0aInternational Archives of the History of Ideas Archives internationales d'histoire des idées,x2215-0307 ;v25140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-64865-6
