Abstract
Ideas may generate their own momentum, but only within certain limits. It may be argued that much of the early eighteenth-century ‘crisis of conscience’ was an almost inevitable result of the seventeenth-century scientific revolution. Yet it would never have developed its distinctive anti-Christian tone if the Church had not been, in some sense, a political as well as an intellectual force. Still less would it have developed a critique of political society, if that society had not itself manifested its inadequacy.
