商品簡介
Seventeen essays, presented by Oergel (director, Centre for Translation and Comparative Cultural Studies, U. of Nottingham, England), explore 18th-century discourses on aesthetics, politics, and philosophy that were part of the cross-cultural French, German, and English intellectual exchanges in reaction to Enlightenment thought. The comparative approach of the volume connects contemporary English literary and historical studies on the relation between Enlightenment thought, politics, and public culture; current German approaches that focus on more historical approaches to the Enlightenment and its aftermath; and French approaches that focus on the implications of Enlightenment thought on current concerns, such as hegemonic approaches to culture, thought, and global politics.
