Blamed for the bloody disasters of the 20th century: Auschwitz, the
Gulags, globalisation, Islamic terrorism; heralded as the harbinger
of reason, equality, and the end of arbitrary rule, the
Enlightenment has been nothing if not divisive. To this day
historians disagree over when it was, where it was, and what it was
(and sometimes, still is). Kieron O'Hara deftly traverses these
conflicts, presenting the history, politics, science, religion,
arts, and social life of the Enlightenment not as a simple set of
easily enumerated ideas, but an evolving conglomerate that spawned
a very diverse set of thinkers, from the radical Rousseau to the
conservative Burke.
