reviewed The Discourse of Enlightenment in Eighteenth-Century France: Diderot and the Art of Philosophizing on June 17, 2009
The Discourse of Enlightenment in Eighteenth-Century France
France in the 15th century changed beyond all recognition as a result of improved administration, steady growth and a series of effective kings, give or take a Louis or two. A very detailed political narrative, this book is a refreshing return to history as it should be taught. And a great, if somewhat dense, read as well.
