The Great Infidels is a book written by Robert G. Ingersoll, a prominent American orator, lawyer, and political leader of the late 19th century. The book is a collection of essays that discuss the lives and ideas of some of the most influential freethinkers and atheists throughout history, including ancient philosophers, medieval scholars, and modern writers and scientists.Ingersoll's essays examine the works of thinkers such as Lucretius, Spinoza, Voltaire, and Thomas Paine, among others, exploring their contributions to the fields of science, philosophy, and literature. The author also discusses the social and political contexts in which these thinkers lived and worked, highlighting the challenges they faced as they challenged prevailing religious and cultural norms.Throughout the book, Ingersoll argues that the ideas of these ""infidels"" have been essential to the progress of human civilization, and that their contributions to science, literature, and philosophy have paved the way for modern secularism and humanism. The Great Infidels is a powerful defense of reason, skepticism, and intellectual freedom, and an inspiring tribute to the men and women who have dared to question authority and challenge tradition.THIS 98 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Works of Robert G.
