The Enlightenment: A Genealogy

Description

Edelstein argues for a narrative approach to the Englightenment, claiming that this was a story participants told themselves and each other. He traces shifts in disciplines of knowledge via changes in classical and modern authority, and the role of institutions such as Royal Academies and Universities in the Englightenment.
