• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"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.

John Robison (1739 - 1805) was a Scottish physician and mathematician. As a young man he sailed with the Royal Navy on General James Wolfe's expedition to Quebec and Portugal, where his mathematical skills were employed in navigation and surveying. In 1766 he succeeded Joseph Black as Professor of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow. He later travelled to Saint Petersburg as the secretary of Admiral Charles Knowles, where he taught mathematics to the cadets at the Naval Academy at Kronstadt, obtaining the rank of lieutenant colonel. Once back in Scotland, he taught philosophy at the University of Edinburgh and was the first General Secretary of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The inventor of the siren, and collaborator of James Watt in the development of an early steam car, he contributed articles to the Encyclopaedia Britannica on science, mathematics, and technology.
