Thomas Paine – The Age of Reason (Akıl Çağı) – Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları Turkish Edition (2018)
Description:
This Turkish edition of The Age of Reason (Akıl Çağı) by Thomas Paine was published by Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları in 2018. Printed in Turkish, the work is one of the Enlightenment's most influential philosophical and religious critiques, advocating reason, freedom of thought, and independent inquiry over unquestioning acceptance of religious authority.
In The Age of Reason, Paine defends deism—the belief in a Creator understood through reason and the observation of nature rather than revelation or religious institutions. He questions organized religion, miracles, and scriptural literalism while arguing that human reason should serve as the primary guide in matters of belief and morality. The work became one of the defining texts of Enlightenment rationalism and helped shape modern discussions on religious liberty and freedom of conscience.
Themes such as reason, religion, deism, freedom of thought, skepticism, and human rights appear throughout the work. Combining philosophical argument with political and religious commentary, The Age of Reason remains a landmark of Enlightenment philosophy and intellectual history.
