Abstract

We have long been taught that the Enlightenment was an attempt to free the world from the clutches of Christian civilization and make it safe for philosophy. The lesson has been well learned--in today's culture wars, both liberals and their conservative enemies, inside and outside the academy, rest their claims about the present on the notion that the Enlightenment was a secularist movement of philosophically-driven emancipation. Historians have had doubts about the accuracy of this portrait for some time, but they have never managed to furnish a viable alternative to it--for themselves, for scholars interested in matters of church and state, or for the public at large. In this book, William J. Bulman and Robert Ingram bring together recent scholarship from distinguished experts in history, theology, and literature to make clear that God not only survived the Enlightenment, but thrived within it as well.

Abstract

'The Enlightenment World 'offers an informed, comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the European Enlightenment (circa. 1720-1800) as both an historical epoch and a cultural formation. The chapters are written by leading international experts and represent the most cutting-edge research within the field. This prestigious collection begins with the intellectual origins of the Enlightenment, and spans early Enlightenment formations to both contemporary and modern critics of the Enlightenment. Themes include The High Enlightenment, Polite Culture and the Arts, Reforming the World, Material and Popular Culture and Transformations and Explorations, and the work covers topics as diverse as government, fashion, craftsmen and artisans, philanthropy, cross-cultural encounters, feminism, censorship, science and education. This volume will provide essential reading for all students of the Enlightenment.
