Description

The Wisdom of the Enlightenment by Michael K. Kellogg This comprehensive survey explores the revolutionary philosophies of the Enlightenment, tracing their development from 1637 to the present day. From Descartes' assertion of "I think, therefore I am" to the ideas of thinkers like Moliere, Spinoza, Voltaire, Hume, and Kant, this book charts the key concepts that shaped individual human thought and collective societal action. The Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and progress led to significant changes in human knowledge and endeavor. By applying a new scientific methodology, these thinkers sought to overcome tired superstitions and tackle complex problems through free exercise of reason. This engaging and informative work celebrates the faith that all problems are solvable by human reason. Kellogg's survey offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal period in history, shedding light on the enduring legacy of Enlightenment thought.
