The Oracle of Reason information


The Oracle of Reason, or Philosophy Vindicated was the first avowedly atheistic periodical to be published in Britain.[1] It was founded by Charles Southwell, William Chilton and John Field in 1841,[2] and lasted until 1843. Several of its editors were imprisoned for blasphemy.

  1. ^ According to Stein (1985, p.635), the Oracle was the "first openly atheistic magazine ever published in English (and perhaps in any language)." Edward Royle, however, said that it "should be more accurately viewed as only one of a number of similar papers which were produced both in the years of social tension following the Napoleonic wars and again in the 'hungry forties'. What set the Oracle apart from its contemporaries was not its message but its language." (Royle 1974, p.75).
  2. ^ According to Holyoake (1906, p.142), the "Defiant syndicate of four" responsible for the Oracle consisted of Southwell, Holyoake, Ryall and Chilton. Field is named in Royle 1974, p.72. The Oracle of Reason was published by "Field, Southwell and Co." [1]
