The case for the Enlightenment : Scotland and Naples 1680-1760

Robertson, John 1951- (Author).

Summary: An innovative and ambitious comparative study of the emergence of Enlightenment in Scotland and Naples. Challenging the recent tendency to fragment the Enlightenment in eighteenth-century Europe into multiple Enlightenments, John Robertson demonstrates the extent to which thinkers in two societies at the opposite ends of Europe shared common intellectual preoccupations.
