Who this is

“He was the greatest doctor of his age — and when he turned the same fearless, evidence-first habit of mind on religion itself, his civilization kept the doctor and buried the philosopher.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 72

The big idea, in the book's words:

“God gave reason to everyone, in full measure — enough to find truth, cure disease, and heal the soul without any privileged authority standing in between.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 72
