Description
Résumé:Recent historical scholarship on the Enlightenment is leading us beyond its image in the classic twentieth-century studies of Ernst Cassirer, Paul Hazard, and Peter Gay. Far from being the monolithic and supremely secular phenomenon described by such scholars, the Enlightenment is emerging as a multifaceted movement that was not even uniquely secular.

Burson addresses in this rich study that is the product of wide research., Styled the Theological Enlightenment by Burson, his subject is the discourse flourishing in the first half of the eighteenth century in Paris, most significantly in the Faculty of Theology of the Sorbonne.
