In this reissue, originally published in English in 1973, French
philosopher Lucien Goldmann turns his attention to the
Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, the great age of
liberalism and individualism and analyses the 'mental structures'
of the outlook of the philosophes, who showed that the ancien
regime and the privileges of the Church were irrational
anachronisms.
In assessing the strengths and limitations of individualism,
Goldmann considers the achievements and limitations of the
Enlightenment. He discusses the views of Hegel and Marx and
examines the relation between liberal scepticism and traditional
Christianity to point the way to the possible reconciliation of the
two seemingly incompatible 'world visions' of East and West
today.
