The Enlightenment has long been seen as synonymous with the
beginnings of modern Western intellectual and political culture. As
a set of ideas and a social movement, this historical moment, the
'age of reason' of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, is
marked by attempts to place knowledge on new foundations. The
Cambridge Companion to the French Enlightenment brings together
essays by leading scholars representing disciplines ranging from
philosophy, religion and literature, to art, medicine, anthropology
and architecture, to analyse the French Enlightenment. Each essay
presents a concise view of an important aspect of the French
Enlightenment, discussing its defining characteristics, internal
dynamics and historical transformations. The Companion discusses
the most influential reinterpretations of the Enlightenment that
have taken place during the last two decades, reinterpretations
that both reflect and have contributed to important re-evaluations
of received ideas about the Enlightenment and the early modern
period more generally.
