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

Highly recommended. When I studied #philosophy we didn’t do the so-called The Age of #Enlightenment. From some perspectives it’s not a philosophical question I think. So I got this. (I’d read some short pieces by Kant (one, a famous answer to the question What is Enlightenment? which seemed characteristically obscure.)
But this is a magnificent work. #ABookForOurTimes #RitchieRobertson
