The Great Tree of Pagan Superstition (video), 2020

Narrated by a pious Lutheran, the Great Tree of Pagan Superstition is from the book Historia Critica Philosophiae (1742–1744), by Johan Jakob Brucker. The book represents the founding of philosophy as a discipline distinct from that of theology, and as such can be considered a founding document of the Enlightenment. But alongside the familiar history of rational philosophy that is described in the book is another history, of what philosophy is not.
