Toland, John (1670–1722), freethinker, born in Ireland. He settled in Oxford where he completed
Christianity not Mysterious (1696), which made him notorious. It also began the Deist controversy (see
Deism) and initiated the one great epoch of Irish philosophy. He addressed to the queen of Prussia his
Letters of Serena (1704), whose materialistic pantheism—he coined the word ‘pantheist’ in 1705—he flamboyantly expressed in
Pantheisticon (1720). In 1698 he wrote a life of
Milton and edited his prose works. Toland's
Tetradymus (1720) contains perhaps the first essay on the esoteric/exoteric distinction.
Pope ridiculed him;
Swift called him ‘the great Oracle of the Anti-Christians’.
