Autorenporträt
John Mackinnon Robertson (1856-1933) was a prolific British writer, journalist, and rationalist thinker whose intellectual contributions spanned numerous fields including politics, religion, literature, and philosophy. Born on the Isle of Man, Robertson left school at an early age to embark on what would become a lifetime of self-education and writing. He was particularly known for his critical stance against religious dogma and for his advocacy of secularism and rationalist thought. His work 'Rationalism' epitomizes this perspective, presenting a rigorous analysis and critique of the religious doctrines of his time, aimed at promoting a worldview grounded in reason and empirical evidence. Robertson's literary style is characterized by a clear, analytic approach that sought to dismantle nonscientific beliefs and promote a rationalist outlook on social and philosophical matters. Throughout his life, Robertson was associated with the freethought movement and contributed to periodicals such as the 'Westminster Review'. His extensive bibliography includes titles like 'A Short History of Freethought', reflecting his commitment to the development and dissemination of rationalist ideas. His writings continue to be studied for their role in the intellectual currents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, marking him as a noteworthy figure in the history of secularism and rationalist thought.
