Orthodoxy
Orthodoxy
The fourth chapter shows that so-called orthodox critics of the Moderates had a more positive and comprehensive view of natural religion than the Moderates. The differences between them, including their different attitudes towards natural religion, are most convincingly explained in terms of their respective theological outlooks. In a separate section, the views of several thinkers are discussed who are usually grouped together as representatives of a school of “common-sense philosophy,” based on their common criticism of Hume’s philosophical skepticism, but who were also examples of a Moderate religious outlook.
