Revising his dissertation for a Ph.D. in 18th-century French literature at Columbia University at an undisclosed date, Spirn demonstrates how deistic prayer played a significant role during a period generally thought to epitomize anti-religious rationalism. His case study is Rousseau (1712-78), the philosopher and religionist who was to become the great advocate of the individual conscience, stern ethical principles, and the future life. He begins by explaining deism.
