Reponse A L'Histoire Des Oracles De Fontennelle De L'Academie Francoise (1707)

By Jean François Baltus

Book Overview

An Answer To Mr. De Fontenelle�������s History Of Oracles is a book written by Jean Francois Baltus in 1709. The book is a response to Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle's History of Oracles, which was published in 1687. Baltus argues against Fontenelle's claim that oracles were simply the result of human deception and manipulation. Instead, Baltus argues that oracles were a real and supernatural phenomenon, and that they were a means by which the gods communicated with humans. The book is divided into four parts, each of which addresses a different aspect of Fontenelle's argument. Throughout the book, Baltus draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts, historical accounts, and personal anecdotes, to support his argument. The book is written in a clear and persuasive style, and is considered an important work in the history of philosophy and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
