Abstract: (1446 Views)
Deism appeared at a crucial time in the formation of the new West and developed a particular view of God, the world, and religion. Therefore, understanding deism and its consequences can enrich our understanding of modernity and reveal the way to avoid possible mistakes and deviations. since this movement was not treated equally in Europe and the United States, in order to limit the scope of the discussion, only French deism will be examined, which is the center of revolutionary changes appeared in eighteenth-century Europe.
We try to show the impact of this intellectual movement on the culture and thought of the eighteenth century Enlightenment, as well as explaining the anti-Trinitarian origin of French deism. The role and influence of French deism on the rejection of revealed religion and the establishment of the authority of modern science are among the most important influences of this movement on the French Enlightenment culture. Hence, the founders of this movement can be identified by characteristics such as scientism, promotion of secular ethics, and reduction of lordship to creativity.
