Reassessing the Radical Enlightenment comprises fifteen new essays
written by a team of international scholars. The collection
re-evaluates the characteristics, meaning and impact of the Radical
Enlightenment between 1660 and 1825, spanning England, Ireland, the
Dutch Republic, France, Germany and the Americas. In addition to
dealing with canonical authors and celebrated texts, such as
Spinoza and his Tractus theologico-politicus, the authors discuss
many less well-known figures and debates from the period. Divided
into three parts, this book: Considers the Radical Enlightenment
movement as a whole, including its defining features and
characteristics and the history of the term itself. Traces the
origins and events of the Radical Enlightenment, including in-depth
analyses of key figures including Spinoza, Toland, Meslier, and
d'Holbach. Examines the outcomes and consequences of the Radical
Enlightenment in Europe and the Americas in the eighteenth century.
Chapters in this section examine later figures whose ideas can be
traced to the Radical Enlightenment, and examine the role of the
period in the emergence of egalitarianism. This collection of
essays is the first stand-alone collection of studies in English on
the Radical Enlightenment. It is a timely and comprehensive
overview of current research in the field which also presents new
studies and research on the Radical Enlightenment.
