| Description: |
This work is part of a series which aims to present the "state of the debate" on important themes and episodes in European history since the 16th century, presented in a clear and critical way by someone who is closely concerned with the debate in question. |
| Synopsis: |
After having long been dismissed as a shallow irrelevance, the Enlightenment has now been rehabilitated as a major European movement in ideas and culture. Recent historical writing has shown how it was more than the airy philosophisings of a coterie of intellectuals - but rather a massive reorientation of thought, involving modernization, secularization and the application of science on a grand scale. These trends are surveyed and assessed in this book. |
