Recent discussion of the European Enlightenment has tended to
highlight its radical, atheist currents of thought and their
relation to modernity, but much less attention has been paid to the
importance of religion. Contributors to The Enlightenment in
Bohemia redress this balance by focusing on the interactions of
moral philosophy and Catholic theology in Central Europe. Bohemia's
vibrant plurality of cultures provides a unique insight into
different manifestations of Enlightenment, from the Aufklarung of
scholars and priests to the aristocratic Lumieres and the Jewish
Haskalah. Four key areas of interest are highlighted: the
institutional background and media which disseminated moral
knowledge, developments in secular philosophy, the theology of the
Josephist Church and ethical debates within the Jewish Haskalah. At
the centre of this fertile intellectual environment is the presence
of Karl Heinrich Seibt, theologian and teacher, whose pupils and
colleagues penetrated the diverse milieus of multicultural Bohemia.
The Enlightenment in Bohemia brings fresh insights into the nature
and transmission of ideas in eighteenth-century Europe. It
reaffirms the existence of a religious Enlightenment, and replaces
the traditional context of 'nation' with a new awareness of
intersecting national and linguistic cultures, which has a
particular relevance today.
