Abstract

abstract:Quakers were early adopters and promoters of inoculation, but the procedure became a contested issue among Friends. This study analyzes eighteenth-century Quaker writings on inoculation, which emphasized both human reason and divine revelation. Highlighting the diversity of ideas about the meaning of smallpox and the value of inoculation, the essay demonstrates how debates over inoculation drew Quakers into broader discourses surrounding religion, disease, and medicine in Enlightenment Britain.
“那可怕的瘟热”:启蒙时期英国的天花、贵格会和疫苗接种
贵格会教徒是接种疫苗的早期采用者和推动者,但接种过程在贵格会教徒中引起了争议。本研究分析了18世纪贵格会关于接种的著作,这些著作强调人类的理性和神的启示。这篇文章强调了关于天花的意义和接种的价值的观点的多样性,展示了在启蒙运动的英国,关于接种的争论如何将贵格会教徒吸引到围绕宗教、疾病和医学的更广泛的讨论中。
