“More than a popular belief, it was a delusion of the learned.”
Ritchie Robertson, The Enlightenment: The Pursuit of Happiness, 1680-1790

“More than a popular belief, it was a delusion of the learned. The demonologists, who produced shelves of erudite treatises around 1600, have been claimed as the leading intellectuals of their day, and even as reputable scientists.76 Armed with an unfalsifiable theory, the licence to confirm it by torture, and a conviction that they were Christendom’s last defence against the power of Satan, these intellectuals had, in reality, the destructive effect that their fantasy ascribed to witches.”
Ritchie Robertson, The Enlightenment: The Pursuit of Happiness, 1680-1790

“As late as 1711, Addison says cautiously: ‘I believe in general that there is, and has been such a thing as Witchcraft; but at the same time can give no Credit to any Particular Instance of it.”
Ritchie Robertson, The Enlightenment: The Pursuit of Happiness, 1680-1790
