Abstract

What was the Enlightenment? Was it a unified body of thought generated by an established canon of 'great thinkers', or were there many areas of contradiction and divergence? How far-reaching were its critiques intended to be? Was it a revolutionary body of thought, or was it merely a catalyst for the revolutionary age which followed it? Did it mean the same for men and for women, for rich and poor, or for European and non-European? In this important new textbook Dorinda Outram addresses these, and other, questions about the 'Enlightenment'. She sets the major debates of the period against the broader social changes such as the onset of industrialisation in Western Europe, the establishment of new colonial empires, and the exploration of hitherto unmapped portions of the world's surface. This unique and accessible synthesis of scholarship will be invaluable to any student of eighteenth-century history.

Abstract

Provides a panoramic account of the radical ways that life began to change for ordinary people in the age of Locke, Voltaire, and Rousseau. In this book, familiar Enlightenment figures share places with voices that have remained largely unheard until now, from freethinkers and freemasons to French materialists, anticlerical Catholics, pantheists, pornographers, readers, and travelers. Jacob reveals how this newly secular outlook was not a wholesale rejection of Christianity but rather a new mental space in which to encounter the world on its own terms. She takes readers from London and Amsterdam to Berlin, Vienna, Turin, and Naples, drawing on rare archival materials to show how ideas central to the emergence of secular democracy touched all facets of daily life. Jacob demonstrates how secular values and pursuits took hold of eighteenth-century Europe, spilled into the American colonies, and left their lasting imprint on the Western world for generations to come. --

Abstract

Pour Marc Halévy, aucun doute, les Lumières ont menti. On les vante, on s’en réclame. Pourtant, la pensée d’une dizaine de philosophes français du xviiie siècle a engendré beaucoup d’idéologies totalitaires qui ont ravagé l’Europe pendant 250 ans. C’est la thèse ardemment défendue ici : les idéaux de ces philosophes impliquaient, pour leur mise en oeuvre, le recours systématique à la force et à la violence, tant le moule de leur pensée était étroit pour y faire entrer toute la réalité. Et nous sommes tombés dans ce piège. Il est enfin temps de le comprendre, et de réparer nos erreurs. Dans cet essai caustique et enlevé, qui déconstruit les Lumières – l’un des derniers mythes de notre époque –, Marc Halévy ne laisse aucun philosophe tranquille. D’Holbach, Laplace, d’Alembert, Condillac, La Mettrie, Condorcet, Montesquieu, tous les hérauts de la modernité sont relus et commentés avec humour et sévérité. Toutes les statues sont déboulonnées : c’est alors, dans un dernier chapitre lyrique et clairvoyant, que l’auteur tente d’imaginer la société de demain, après « la mutation de l’aprèsmodernité ».

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.
