'The best single-volume study of the Enlightenment that we have'
Literary ReviewThe Enlightenment is one of the formative periods of
Western history, yet more than 300 years after it began, it remains
controversial. It is often seen as the fountainhead of modern
values such as human rights, religious toleration, freedom of
thought, scientific thought as an exemplary form of reasoning, and
rationality and evidence-based argument. Others accuse the
Enlightenment of putting forward a scientific rationality which
ignores the complexity and variety of human beings, propagates
shallow atheism, and aims to subjugate nature to so-called
technical progress.Answering the question 'what is Enlightenment?'
Kant famously urged men and women above all to 'have the courage to
use your own understanding'. Robertson shows how the thinkers of
the Enlightenment did just that, seeking a rounded understanding of
humanity in which reason was balanced with emotion and sensibility.
His book goes behind the controversies about the Enlightenment to
return to its original texts and to show that above all it sought
to increase human happiness in this world by promoting scientific
inquiry and reasoned argument.His book overturns many received
opinions - for example, that enlightenment necessarily implied
hostility to religion (though it did challenge the authority
traditionally assumed by the Churches). It is a master-class in
'big picture' history, about one of the foundational epochs of
modern times.
