CT interviews philosopher Antony Flew on his recent “conversion” to deism. It’s pretty retro to be a deist, isn’t it? Very 18th century. Of course, Flew is also a devotee of 18th century political philosophy, so there you go. (Yes, I know Locke is technically 17th century, but the high-water mark of the influence of Lockean political ideas was surely the 18th century.)

Not a lot these days is more retro than Christianity.
Judaism, maybe?

Touché. 🙂
And I should say that I personally have a great deal of sympathy for 18th century philosophy (metaphysical and political).
