Beschreibung | Johann Adam Weishaupt war ein deutscher Rechtswissenschaftler, Freimaurer, Autor, Hochschullehrer und Philosoph. Er gründete den Illuminatenorden. Als Gegner der Jesuiten wurde der Aufklärer in seinen religiösen und politischen Ansichten zunehmend liberal. Er favorisierte den Deismus und den Republikanismus. |
And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it.
It was the full conviction of this, and of what could be done, if every man were placed in the office for which he was fitted by nature and a proper education, which first suggested to me the plan of Illumination.
G is Grace, the Flaming Star is the Torch of Reason. Those who possess this knowledge are indeed Illuminati.
When man lives under government, he is fallen, his worth is gone, and his nature tarnished.
