TheEnlightenmentCRITICAL CONCEPTS IN HISTORICAL STUDIES

Edited by Ryan Patrick Hanley, Marquette University, USA and Darrin McMahon,Florida State University, USA

More than any earlier period of European intellectual history, the age of Enlightenment infused therepublic of letters with social and political significance; this long-awaited new collection fromRoutledge brings together in five volumes the very best scholarship on the period and its legacy.

Volume I (‘Definitions’) addresses questions of general chronology and internal periodization, ofnational and international perspective and of thematic continuities or breaks. It includes classicreadings on the so-called ‘Enlightenment Project’, the ‘Radical Enlightenment’, and ‘ConservativeEnlightenment’, and on the putative differences between the Enlightenment in France, with oftenunattached professional writers, on the one hand, and in Scotland, Germany, and Italy, with theirdistinctive national traditions or civic culture, university professors, courtiers or public officials, onthe other. It also incorporates historical and critical essays addressed to the Enlightenment’s allegedresponsibility for institutions or policies prevalent in the twentieth century, including economicglobalization and the Holocaust.

Volume II (‘Knowledge’) brings together the best work on key themes in eighteenth-centuryphilosophy, epistemology, linguistics, the arts (including music), and the sciences. It considers theelaboration of the natural and human sciences and the production and dissemination of knowledgevia universities, academies, and encyclopedias. Attention is also given to the development ofmedicine and historical inquiry.

The third volume (‘Civilization’) collects vital scholarship which addresses eighteenth-centuryperspectives on humankind’s passage from barbarism to civilization—terms whose invention in orassociation with the age of Enlightenment are also treated here. It embraces notable contributionsto eighteenth-century political economy as well as discussions of sociability, the book trade, the roleof women, and the Counter-Enlightenment. Volume IV (‘Power’), meanwhile, focuses oneighteenth-century political doctrines and their transforming effects on institutions from the nation-state to Church to the practices of international relations. In so doing it surveys Enlightenmentconcepts of constitutionalism and enlightened absolutism, toleration and revealed religion, andanti-imperialism and perpetual peace.

The final volume in the collection (‘Revolutions’) focuses on the much-debated and crucialquestion of the relationship of the Enlightenment to the American and French Revolutions, as wellas the equally important question of how the Enlightenment continues to shape academic andpolitical debates today.
