Proofs Of A Conspiracy Against All The Religions And Governments Of Europe

Beschreibung

"Proofs of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe" is a controversial work written by John Robison. The book presents a conspiracy theory that suggests secret societies, particularly the Bavarian Illuminati, were working towards undermining religious institutions and political systems across Europe. Robison's work delves into his belief that these secret societies, allegedly led by the Illuminati, sought to instigate radical changes in society, including the overthrow of monarchies and the establishment of a new world order. Although Robison's claims were met with skepticism by many, "Proofs of a Conspiracy" gained attention and fueled existing conspiracy theories during a period of political unrest in Europe. "Proofs of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe" offers a glimpse into the conspiracy theories prevalent in the late 18th century. While its historical impact is notable, it is important to approach the book critically, considering the context in which it was written and the skepticism surrounding its claims.

Autor

John Robison was a British physicist and mathematician who lived from 4 February 1739 to 30 January 1805. He taught natural philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, which was the forerunner of modern science. He served as the first general secretary of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1783-98) and was a member when that organization acquired its royal warrant. In addition to creating the siren, Robison collaborated with James Watt on an early steam automobile. Robison lost interest in several aspects of the Enlightenment after the French Revolution. In 1797, he wrote Proofs of a Conspiracy, a polemic in which he claimed that Weishaupt's Order of the Illuminati had penetrated Freemasonry. Sir John Robison, an inventor, was his son (1778-1843). James Watt and Robison collaborated on an early steam automobile. This failed experiment had nothing to do with Watt's later development of the Newcomen steam engine. He testified about Watt's uniqueness and how his main concept of the Separate Condenser was unrelated to their own ideas, along with Joseph Black and others.
