Description:

This Turkish edition of Superstition in All Ages (Sağduyu: Tanrısızlığın İlmihali) by Jean Meslier was published by Kaynak Yayınları in 2005. Printed in Turkish, the book is one of the most influential works of radical Enlightenment thought, presenting a systematic critique of organized religion, superstition, and theological authority from a rationalist perspective.

Originally attributed for many years to other Enlightenment figures before being firmly associated with Jean Meslier's ideas, the work argues that reason and common sense should replace superstition and dogmatic belief. Through philosophical arguments and social criticism, Meslier questions the foundations of religious authority while advocating free inquiry, secular ethics, and intellectual independence. The book occupies an important place in the history of atheistic and materialist philosophy.

Themes such as reason, religion, atheism, secularism, free thought, and Enlightenment philosophy appear throughout the work. Combining philosophical critique with historical analysis, it remains a significant text in the development of modern secular and rationalist thought.
