This is a modern masterpiece. Its breadth & depth; its detail defy expectation. Think a sort of #MacCulloch but of the #history of #ideas). Essential companion to James Schmidt’s (Ed) ‘primer’ ‘What is #Enlightenment’ #RitchieRobertson #religion #reason #empiricism #belief #dogma #theology #naturalphilosophy

@nidgethompson Just to say I’m revisiting # #MacCulloch (Hist. of Christianity) to get a perspective on the #history of the emergence of #Ukraine relative to #Russia. I have no other significant source. A secondary source those is #OrlandoFiges’ brilliant A People’s Tragedy, #History of the #Russian #Revolution. The second volume of the French translation shown in photo. In English, one big massive tome. Superb book. MacCulloch is a master as you know.
