33. Who got their belief in freedoms from the writing of Jesuit priests

Sun Dec 18, 2022, 07:42 PM

Dec 2022

writing about Indigenous people and their philosophy in New France. There was not tons of published materials in French personal libraries (or any libraries) in the 1600s, 1700s. The many volumes of 'the Jesuit Priests of New France' were in many. Europeans did not have a concept of freedom in their cerf/monarchy and christian societies. It was Indigenous thinking that led to Rousseau and Voltaire. I read that in "The Dawn of Everything" by David Wengrow and David Graeber.
