Description
The Enlightenment: A Genealogy by Dan Edelstein The concept of the Enlightenment has long been a subject of debate among scholars, with many tracing its origins to England and the Dutch Republic. However, Dan Edelstein challenges this conventional thinking, arguing that the key definition and historical narratives of the Enlightenment were actually crafted within the French Academies in the 1720s. By examining the language and ideas used by scholars and authors at this time, Edelstein reveals a new understanding of how the Enlightenment emerged. Edelstein's book offers a necessary corrective to our current understanding of the period, turning conventional thinking on its head. Through a concise and clear analysis, he sheds new light on the key concepts and narratives of the Enlightenment, making this book an essential read for teachers and students of the subject.
