schon die Aufklärer lebten "in der Aufklärung": dieser Epochenbegriff ist nicht rückblickend entstanden, sondern wurde von den Zeitgenossen selbst geprägt. Doch wie ist "Aufklärung" als tragfähiger historisch-politischer Epochenbegriff zu fassen? Das neue Studienbuch verknüpft Politik-, Sozial- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte mit der ideengeschichtlichen Substanz der Zeit und zeichnet ein innovatives Epochenbild.

In Encounter with Enlightenment, Robert E. Carter puts forth the East, and specifically Japan, as a source of possible solutions to the world's social, economic, and environmental problems. Not only is the book a sustained scholarly analysis of both the religious and philosophical roots of Japan's distinctive ethical approach to life, but it also provides the Western reader with a context for understanding Eastern values—values that although familiar to the West tend to be deemphasized. Encounter with Enlightenment begins a horizontal fusion between East and West, and establishes a common ground for mutual understanding and for working toward an ethical approach that could resolve some of the earth's difficulties.

Exploring his many activities and manufactures, and the regional, national and international context in which he operated, this publication provides a valuable index to the current state of Boulton studies.
