520 |a Philosophy teaches us to seek in Nature, and the knowledge of her laws, for the cause of every event. When this Knowledge shall become universal, man will relinquish, with elevated satisfaction, his attachment to supernatural and vindictive theology. It is this theology, which has destroyed the harmony of Nature, and demoralized the intelligent world. The establishment of theological systems, claiming divine origin, has been among the most destructive causes by which the life of man has been afflicted. The new chapters contained in this edition are intended to awaken a spirit of philosophic enquiry into every description of adherents to the ancient regimen, and to induce them to pass once more in review the religious theories to which they have been so strongly attached. The principal design of the author, through the whole of this work, has been to give to moral principle a basis as durable as time, and as immortal as the specific succession of human existence; and to render the sentiment of virtue, as far as possible, independent of all the theological reveries of antiquity.--(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved).
