In this volume, twelve scholars from different disciplines reassess the tradition and reception of the eighteenth-century European Enlightenment. The contributions, written in English and French, pay special attention to less known or relatively neglected aspects of this intellectual movement, revealing features that cannot easily be reduced to the clichés and catchphrases often associated with the Enlightenment. The volume emphasises the historically and geographically versatile heritage of the Enlightenment, examining its intellectual repercussions, the various uses and abuses it has been subjected to, and its complex relationship with more recent movements.
Charlotta Wolff is a historian specialised in the cultural history of eighteenth-century Europe.
Timo Kaitaro is a philosopher specialised in the French Enlightenment and the history of neurosciences.
Minna Ahokas is a theologian and book historian specialised in the history of the Enlightenment.
