About This Book
"Margaret L. King has put together a highly representative selection of readings from most of the more significantâbut by no means the most obviousâtexts by the authors who made up the movement we have come to call the 'Enlightenment.' They range across much of Europe and the Americas, and from the early seventeenth century until the end of the eighteenth. In the originality of the choice of texts, in its range and depth, this collection offers both wide coverage and striking insights into the intellectual transformation which has done more than any other to shape the world in which we live today. It is simply the best introduction to the subject now available."
âAnthony Pagden, UCLA, and author of The Enlightenment and Why It Still Matters
