Opis

"Such an oath creates a state within a state-especially when conspirators multiply their numbers at will, reaching thousands or even hundreds of thousands."Available in English for the first time, this landmark text of the German Enlightenment offers a rare glimpse into the intellectual landscape of 1788. Written by Christoph Martin Wieland, a prominent Freemason of his era, the work sheds light on secret societies, moral dilemmas, and the fragile ideals of the Enlightenment-just on the eve of the French Revolution. Both prophetic and politically relevant, it remains a crucial document for understanding the past and present.
