Autorenporträt
Colonel Robert Green Ingersoll (August 11, 1833 – July 21, 1899) was an illustrious American orator, lawyer, and fervent advocate of free thought during the late 19th century. Known as 'The Great Agnostic,' Ingersoll was a persuasive speaker and dedicated much of his life to the defense of secularism and ethical culture. He was a prolific writer, and his lecture series was compiled into various collections throughout his career. One notable work is 'The Ghosts, and Other Lectures' (1872), which embodies his philosophical stance, embracing a rationalistic and humanistic outlook on life and society. Ingersoll's literary style is characterized by its eloquence, sharp wit, and the use of rhetoric that fiercely challenged the dogmas of his time. His speeches gravitated towards advocating for scientific knowledge, personal liberty, and the separation of church and state. Ingersoll's legacy extends into the realms of literature and freethought, wherein his influence continues to be acknowledged by both adherents and critics of secularism for his enduring contributions in the ongoing discourse on religion, morality, and human progress.
