商品簡介
Although this two-volume reference to the Enlightenment retains the francocentrism of traditional studies, it also embraces as much of Europe as possible, stressing similarities and differences in various countries as well as the networks that linked people of learning throughout Europe and beyond. The contributing scholars represent no single institution, country, or methodology. The articles, both factual and interpretive in scope, reflect various approaches and perspectives in current European scholarship dealing with major scientific and artistic disciplines and fields of intellectual activity; political, economic, legal, and cultural institutions; philosophy; aesthetics; and anthropological categories. Entries are arranged alphabetically and contain cross-references and suggestions for further reading. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
