Aletheia M. D.

Aletheia, M. D. is a pseudonym for the anonymous author of the Rationalist's Manual published London : Watts & Co., 1897. Part I. - Theology : Its Superstitions and Origin. Part II. — Rationalism : Its Philosophy and Ethics.

It was reviewed in The Literary World[1] which considered that "this work may be described as the reduction of human life to its lowest possible terms. Anything that suggests other than animal and material considerations as a basis of conduct is to "Aletheia, MD," anathema-maranatha. Religion is to be judged not by its ideals, but by its origins." In 1967 it was again mentioned in Ethics[2] but as "sadly marred by Biblical criticism of a rather old-fashioned type."
