Idea of Enlightenment

Delve into the thought-provoking world of Robert C. Bartlett's Idea of Enlightenment, published by University of Toronto Press in 2011. This compelling paperback spans 277 pages and examines the deep-seated roots of today's discontent with the modern Enlightenment. Bartlett presents a critical analysis, arguing that the much-discussed "death of God" has been swiftly succeeded by the decline of reason itself. With a focus on themes of faith, rationalism, and political philosophy, this book invites readers to reflect on the implications of these profound shifts in contemporary thought. Ideal for students and enthusiasts of philosophy and political science, Idea of Enlightenment is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern belief systems and their impact on society.
