What is the Enlightenment? A period rich with debates on the nature
of man, truth and the place of God, with the international
circulation of ideas, people and gold. But did the Enlightenment
mean the same for men and women, for rich and poor, for Europeans
and non-Europeans? In this fourth edition of her acclaimed book,
Dorinda Outram addresses these and other questions about the
Enlightenment and its place at the foundation of modernity. Studied
as a global phenomenon, Outram sets the period against broader
social changes, touching on how historical interpretations of the
Enlightenment continue to transform in response to contemporary
socio-economic trends. Supported by a wide-ranging selection of
documents online, this new edition provides an up-to-date overview
of the main themes of the period and benefits from an expanded
treatment of political economy and imperialism, making it essential
reading for students of eighteenth-century history and philosophy.
