Description

More than any earlier period of European intellectual history, the age of Enlightenment infused the republic of letters with social and political significance; this long-awaited new collection from Routledge brings together in five volumes the very best scholarship on the period and its legacy. It also incorporates historical and critical essays addressed to the Enlightenment' s alleged responsibility for institutions or policies prevalent in the twentieth century, including economic globalization and the Holocaust.
