1 online resource (pages) The early modern theories of religious toleration that were so influential on our own ways of thinking about religion and tolerance were ripe with paradox, ambiguity, inconsistency, hidden flaws, and blind spots. The scholars in this volume explore those weak points in the hope that identifying their causes may help us strengthen our own ideas and promote toleration in ways that can avoid those paradoxes. <br /> Introduction; Chapter One: Spinoza's Paradoxes; Chapter Two: Spinoza on Lying for Toleration and His Intolerance of Atheists; Chapter Three: Jansenist Fears and Huguenot Polemics; Chapter Four: "The General Freedom, which All Men Enjoy" in a Confessional State; Chapter Five: A Leibnizian Way to Tolerance; Chapter Six: Toleration in China and Siam in Late-Seventeenth-Century European Travel Literature; Chapter Seven: Toleration in Denis Veiras's Theocracy; Chapter Eight: David Hume on Religious Tolerance; Chapter Nine: Rousseau, A False Apostle of Tolerance.
