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.
