About this ebook
In Elihu Palmer's 'Principles of Nature', the book delves into the philosophy of naturalism and the rejection of supernatural beliefs. Written in a clear and straightforward manner, Palmer explores the principles underlying the natural world and human existence, drawing upon scientific reasoning and rational thought. This work is a significant piece in the literary context of 18th-century Enlightenment thinking, challenging conventional religious beliefs and advocating for a secular understanding of the universe. Elihu Palmer, a noted American theologian and philosopher, was influenced by the scientific advancements and intellectual debates of his time. His own background in religion and theology likely led him to question traditional beliefs and seek a more rational approach to understanding the world around him, as reflected in 'Principles of Nature'. I highly recommend 'Principles of Nature' to readers interested in the Enlightenment period, philosophy, and the intersection of science and religion. Palmer's work offers a thought-provoking examination of human existence and the natural world, urging readers to consider a more evidence-based understanding of life.

A loquacious slog; not at all what I hoped for, given the title. Stick with Alan Watts.
