Hickman lays open the need for further inquiry into the varieties and complexities of theological argument and religious dissent in Britain in the eighteenth century. Drawing on Quentin Skinner and J. G. A. Pocock, and looking to the eighteenth century and beyond, she points to the inherently social and political nature of even the most abstract theological arguments, and to the need for historical study of the powerful agendas often implicit within. Moreover, she implicitly demands that attention be paid to the manifold and robust British engagement with Plato and Platonism in the eighteenth century. M a r t h a K .

希克曼提出了进一步探究 18 世纪英国神学争论和宗教异议的多样性和复杂性的必要性。借鉴昆汀·斯金纳 (Quentin Skinner) 和 JGA Pocock 并展望 18 世纪及以后，她指出即使是最抽象的神学论点也具有内在的社会和政治性质，并且需要对通常隐含在其中的强大议程进行历史研究。此外，她含蓄地要求关注英国在 18 世纪与柏拉图和柏拉图主义的多方面和强有力的接触。玛莎K。哥伦比亚大学
