The Plurality of Worlds was a contribution to the task of transforming thought and abolishing ancient error; but the History of Oracles which appeared in the following year was more characteristic. It was a free adaptation of an unreadable Latin treatise by a Dutchman, which in Fontenelle's skilful hands becomes a vehicle for applying Cartesian solvents to theological authority.
Of Plurality Of Causes, And Of The Intermixture Of Effects.
From a rational point of view the suffrage of numbers is to a certain extent justified if we think with Pascal. ``Plurality is the best way, because it is visible and has strength to make itself obeyed; it is, however, the advice of the less able.
