Book Information
"A resource on the Age of Enlightenment, which spanned the late 17th through the 18th centuries and replaced superstition and religious despotism with reason and rationality, Encyclopedia of the Enlightenment, Revised Edition is a tool for students and the general public. Conceived and written as a point of departure for anyone who wishes to encounter this remarkable age of Kant, Newton, Descartes, Mozart, and Voltaire, this work surveys a vast landscape of ideas, historical figures, and events." "Featuring articles on general topics, such as science, education, art and architecture, aesthetics, and music, personalities, countries, notable works, and concepts, this encyclopedia features more than 120 black-and-white photographs and provides cross-references throughout. Further readings follow all major articles. An introduction, chronology, bibliography, and index round out the features of this resource to the period that informed both the birth of the United States and the modern era."--Jacket
