Pierre Bayle’s "Historical and Critical Dictionary" and Its British Readers
Abstract
The article reconstructs the influence the thought of Pierre Bayle (1647–1706), the French philosopher and historian, had on British enlightenment philosophers and men of letters. The reason of his deep impact was the success of three succcessive English editions of his greatest work, namely Historical and critical dictionary (1697). To Bayle’s thought indebted were both eighteenth-century freethinkers and deists (Toland, Shaftesbury, Mandeville, Collins) and most eminent British empiricists (Locke, Berkeley, Hume), though its reception was frequently accompanied by various misunderstandings.
