Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Development of the Young of Movement People´s Movement: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (the Graduate Divinity School! Religious Education) The period covering the last half of the eighteenth and the first quarter of the nineteenth century was emphatically one of transition. It witnessed the breaking up of old habits of living, working, and thinking by new ideas and new ways of life and labor. In this change three factors are of especial importance: the first, political - the development of democracy; the second, industrial - the invention of steam-driven machinery; and the third, moral and religious - the great revival of the eighteenth century. The first is marked by three great revolutions: the English of 1688, finding its apologist and philosopher in John Locke; the French of 1789, being but the application of Rousseau´s Social Contract, and this in turn being largely a popularization of Locke; and the American of 1776, which in the opening sentences of its Declaration speaks for them all. In addition to this political aspect, the democratic spirit led a revolt against absolutism everywhere, religion and intellect not excluded. The final and authoritative doctrines of the church were fiercely assailed by Voltaire and his friends, not least because they were final and authoritative, and those who held them were denounced as ignorant, superstitious, or hypocritical. Freedom of thought was not only demanded but asserted. In England and Germany similar assaults were made, but not so effectively. The doctrinal foundation of the church having been swept away, an age that identified religion with the church was left without religion. This was less keenly felt because of the prevailing immorality of many of the priesthood in France, and because of the character of the drinking, fighting, swearing clergymen of the Church of England. The loss of a religion which had no power over its exponents could scarcely be regarded as serious. The church, however, was felt to be a necessity to government, and outward respect was paid to its worship on ceremonial occasions.
