Feijoo, Jerónimo - Teatro crítico universal ó discursos varios en todo género de materias, para desengaño de errores comunes - Madrid - Domingo Fernández de Rojo - 1758 - 21 cm - hardcover Number of pieces: 16 Pages: - Teatro crítico Universal. 9 volumes Scholarly Letters. 5 volumes Ilustracion apologetica. 1 volume. General index. 1 volume The Teatro Crítico Universal is a work of the most important Spanish scholar of the 18th century, the Dominican Feijóo. In dozens of discourses, he uses reason and analysis to disprove superstitions, prejudices and customs. The subjects treated are diverse and cover, among others, physics, mathematics, natural sciences, medicine, astronomy, geography, economics, law, religion, history, politics, philosophy, literature, philology, etc. We find in them dissimilar speeches from: "Use of magic", "Divinatory arts", "prophecies", or natural history with the unicorn and the basilisk to topics of physics and medicine. One of her most famous speeches today is her "Defense of Women" which is considered one of the first links in the history of feminism. And although it falls short of being revolutionary, it has great historical value.
