Abstract

Abstract:The nineteenth-century freethought movement championed atheist, agnostic, and secularist ideals alongside social radicalism more broadly. This article focuses on two of the periodicals that arose from this primarily working- and artisan-class movement: National Reformer (1860–93) and Secular Review/Agnostic Journal (1876–1907). Through debates, dialogues, and correspondence, the editors of and contributors to these weeklies demonstrated their commitment to open debate and honest enquiry as a tactic to overturn the dogmatism of religion and the unenlightened faith of believers. This article considers how dialogic forms enacted freethinking ideals, but it also identifies ways in which free debate could be more of an aspiration than a reality.

自由思想期刊的对话形式:自由讨论与公开辩论
摘要:十九世纪的自由思想运动在更广泛的范围内支持无神论、不可知论和世俗主义的理想,以及社会激进主义。这篇文章聚焦于这场主要由工人阶级和工匠阶级运动产生的两种期刊:《国家改革者》(1860–93)和《世俗评论/不可知论期刊》(1876–1907)。通过辩论、对话和通信,这些周刊的编辑和撰稿人展示了他们对公开辩论和诚实调查的承诺,这是一种推翻宗教教条主义和信徒无知信仰的策略。这篇文章考虑了对话形式是如何实现自由思考的理想的,但它也确定了自由辩论更多地是一种愿望而非现实的方式。
