| Summary | "The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Complete Contents" by Robert Green Ingersoll is a comprehensive collection of lectures and writings that explore themes of religion, philosophy, and individual liberty, assembled in the late 19th century. The collection examines various subjects, including critiques of orthodox Christianity, historical figures who have influenced modern thought, and the philosophical basis for human rights and freedoms. Ingersoll, known for his bold and often controversial views, approaches these topics with a keen intellect and a rhetoric aimed at challenging conventional beliefs. The opening of this work presents an organized overview of the contents across twelve volumes, featuring titles such as "The Gods," "The Liberty of Man, Woman, and Child," and "What Must We Do to Be Saved?" It indicates that Ingersoll delves into the flaws he perceives in religious doctrines and societal conventions, advocating for personal thinking and skepticism towards dogma. The introduction also reflects on notable individuals like Thomas Paine and Humboldt, suggesting a narrative that intertwines historical analysis with philosophical discourse, setting the stage for a critical evaluation of both faith and reason throughout the collection.
