A Wonderful read –– I learnt differences among British, French Philosophers in Enlightenment. I learnt more on John Wesley, And how Methodism influenced lower class in British Society. As, I knew earlier –– Man is a religious animal, And Religion helps, contributes so much to society. I was surprised to read Jefferson saying, "No Nation has ever been existed or governed without a religion." I would recommend this book to someone, who wants to understand more about Enlightenment. --Deus Vult Gottfried Enlightenments was perfect. I read Gertrude Himmelfarb's The Demoralization of Society: From Victorian Virtues to Modern Values a few years ago, and thought it was extremely thought provoking and well-written. I think the same of The Roads; however, I would recommend becoming familiar with the basics of western philosophy before reading this one. If you're unfamiliar with Kant, Hume, Smith etc...(the list goes on and on), then it would be really difficult to follow or identify with the ideas in this one. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"The Roads to Modernity reclaims the Enlightenment - an extraordinary time bursting with new ideas about the human condition in the realms of politics, society, and religion - from historians who have downgraded its importance and from scholars who have given preeminence to the Enlightenment in France over concurrent movements in England and America. Contrasting the Enlightenments in the three nations, Gertrude Himmelfarb demonstrates the primacy of the British and the wisdom and foresight of thinkers such as Adam Smith, David Hume, Thomas Paine, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Edward Gibbon, and Edmund Burke, who established its unique character and historic importance. It is this Enlightenment, she argues, that created a moral and social philosophy - humane, compassionate, and realistic - that still resonates strongly today, in America perhaps ever more so than in Europe." "This is a contribution to the history of ideas."--Jacket. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
