| Abstract | |
The Voyage into Tartary was an anonymous booklet published in central London at the height of the Glorious Revolution and reign of James II in the year 1689. In the fictional model of literary utopias, it presents the Dutch Republic's state project as a counterpoint to Absolutist and Gallican status plan of James II, inherited from Louis XIV. He then posited that England would be more powerful if it encouraged political participation, rather than absolutism, if it promoted religious tolerance, rather than Catholicism, and if it was devoted to promoting English markets, rather than maintaining a local empire . Especially based on the values ??of the Cambridge Platonists and the Erasmian-based Ecumenism, headed in the Netherlands by Hugo Grotius, Tartary presents a fictitious sun city to be opposed to that of the Sun King; promoting ecumenism as the way to success in achieving religious tolerance and a revised Christianity, limited to its moral lessons consistent with Platonic principles. Tartary is a text imbued with the ideas of the revolutionaries, which suggests, in addition to the frontal opposition to James II's state plan, a systematic, intellectual and ideological opposition to James II's political plan (AU) | |
