#HeroesOfProgress⚡️ | This week, our hero is Desiderius Erasmus, a 16th century philosopher who is widely considered to be one of the greatest scholars of the Northern Renaissance. During the Protestant Reformation, when religious persecution was common across Europe, Erasmus was the first modern champion of religious toleration and peace. According to historian James Powell, throughout the philosopher's life, Erasmus “championed reason over superstition, tolerance over persecution and peace over war… [and helped to establish the] intellectual foundations for liberty in the modern world.” • Learn more: https://www.humanprogress.org/heroes-... • Story: Alexander Hammond • Producer: Luis Ahumada Abrigo • Editorial Producer: Marian L.
