Summary:
Tomado de Amazon: "In this concise and powerful book, one of the world’s leading historians of the Enlightenment provides a bracing and clarifying new interpretation of
this watershed period. Arguing that philosophical and historical views of the era have long been hopelessly confused, Vincenzo Ferrone makes the case that it is only by separating these views
and taking an approach grounded in social and cultural history that we can begin to grasp what the Enlightenment was—and why it is still relevant today."
