Democratic Enlightenment: Philosophy, Revolution, and Human Rights 1750-1790
Israel, Jonathan (Professor of Modern History, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton)
Jonathan Israel's radical new account of the late Enlightenment highlights forgotten currents and figures. Running counter to mainstream thinking, he demonstrates how a group of philosophe-revolutionnaires provided the intellectual powerhouse of the French Revolution, and how their ideas connect with modern Western democracy.
