Description: Brief historical survey of the development of Deism in France, as espoused by Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau.
Deism, French  [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] With other English influences Deism entered France, where, however, only its materialistic and revolutionary phases were seized upon, to the exclusion of that religiosity which had never been lost in England.

Of the true Deists only Collins, the most critical and the least theological, became prominent.
