The Dream of Enlightenment: The Rise of Modern Philosophy

Autor Anthony Gottlieb
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 30 aug 2016
The author of the classic The Dream of Reason vividly explains the rise of modern thought from Descartes to Rousseau.In The Dream of Enlightenment, Anthony Gottlieb takes the story of philosophy through the century and a half when a string of amateurs, including Descartes, Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Leibniz, Hume, and Rousseau, remade Western philosophy in the wake of religious upheaval and the rise of Galilean science.What does the new science mean for our understanding of ourselves and of God? How should one deal with religious diversity? These questions remain our questions, but the thinkers who first asked them did not live in our world. The Dream of Enlightenment steps back into the shoes of these frequently misunderstood philosophers, lucidly explains their arguments, and assesses the Enlightenment's legacy.

Recenzii

Wondrously perceptive and exceptionally well-written
An entertaining introduction to a range of daring thinkers of the long Enlightenment from Descartes to Rousseau. The author has a light touch, and his book is a joy to read. He manages to convey the excitement of ideas, and the humanity of thinkers, without swamping readers with complexity.
Vivid and illuminating ... a compact but fairly comprehensive survey, along with much historical detail ... Gottlieb's highly readable book can be recommended as an engaging personal introduction to some of our most brilliant moral and intellectual ancestors.
He wears his learning lightly with an engaging and entirely comprehensible sequence of crystal-clear paragraphs. ... His prose is as witty as it is punctilious, peppered with clever, memorable lines. ... Because Gottlieb does not take an excessively idealistic view of the power of reason, he is able to put the achievements of the thinkers in this book in their place, neither exaggerating nor diminishing them.
