Anthony Collins

Anthony Collins (1676-1729) was an English deist, an intimate friend of Locke. His principal works were "Discourse on Freethinking," "Philosophical Inquiry into Liberty and Necessity," and "Grounds and Reasons of the Christian Religion," which gave rise to much controversy. He was a necessitarian, and argued against revelation.
