More about the book

Focusing on the legacy of Enlightenment thought, this collection of essays explores key concepts such as human nature, human rights, representative democracy, and the nation-state. It critically examines how these eighteenth-century ideals may have contributed to barbarism, including the Holocaust, challenging the notion of civilization that emerged during that era. Through this lens, the essays provide a nuanced discussion on the complexities and contradictions inherent in Enlightenment philosophy.
