About this listen

 Discover the roots of the civil liberties we cherish today‚such as Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press‚through the lens of Freedom of Thought. This enlightening journey, narrated by John Bagnell Bury, takes you from the philosophical explorations of Ancient Greece and Rome, through the oppressive shadows of the Middle Ages, to the vibrant resurgence of ideas during the Renaissance and Reformation. Uncover how the Rationalism of the 17th to 19th centuries shaped our understanding of religious freethought and the broader principles of rigorous inquiry that benefit all fields of study. Join us as we delve into the fundamental importance of an open mind in every aspect of human expression. (Summary by Ava)
