Abstract

The Enlightenment of the late 17th and 18th century is characterized by an emphasis on reason and empiricism . As a major shaping philosophy of Western culture, it had a historical impact on the religious, cultural, academic, and social institutions of 18th century Europe. In this compelling volume, the author explores the lasting impact of Enlightenment thinking on modern Western societies and other democracies. With an interdisciplinary, comparative-historical approach this volume explores the impact of Enlightenment ideals such as liberty, equality, and social justice on current social institutions. Combining sociological theory with concrete examples, the author provides a unique framework for understanding modern cultural development, including a picture of how it would look without this Enlightenment basis. This work provides a multi-faceted approach, including: an historical overview, analysis of the Enlightenment’s influence on modern democratic societies, modern culture, political science, civil society and the economy, as well as exploring the counter-Enlightenment, Post-Enlightenment, and Neo-Enlightenment philosophies.

Abstract

Comment envisager, en ce début de xxie siècle, notre manière d'aborder la connaissance ? Les sciences et les arts peuvent-ils trouver un terrain d'entente pour avancer de concert ? Le tournant des Lumières offre des éléments de réponse. À ce moment si particulier de l'histoire de la pensée européenne, quelques « hommes de savoir » connus (D'Alembert, Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, Alexandre de Humboldt) ou plus oubliés (Ramond de Carbonnières, Pizzi, Reichardt, Cabanis, Ebel, Michaud) ont permis à la science, à l'histoire et à la littérature de nouer un fructueux dialogue. En se penchant sur leur formation, leurs lectures, leur statut social, mais aussi leurs écrits, où s'entrecroisent démarche scientifique, pratiques d'écriture et vision du monde, on fait ici sortir de l'oubli des « passeurs » parfois injustement tournés en dérision par notre siècle encore empreint de positivisme. Ces monographies intéresseront quiconque cherche à comprendre le temps présent à la lumière du passé.
