It is intended to constitute a radical challenge to the accepted views in traditional Enlightenment studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on Enlightenment Italy, France, and England, the text illustrates how the canonical view of 18th-century religious change has in reality been constructed upon scant evidence and assumption, particularly the idea that the thought of the enlightened led to modernity. For despite a lack of evidence, one of the fundamental assumptions of Enlightenment studies has been the assertion that there was a vibrant deist movement that formed the \"intellectual solvent\" of the 18th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central claim of \u003cem\u003eThe Enlightenment and Religion\u003c\/em\u003e is that the immense ideological appeal of the traditional birth-of-modernity myth has meant that the actual lack of deists has been glossed over and a quite misleading historical view has become entrenched. As a consequence, more traditional forces for religious change have been given little or no attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also raises hitherto neglected fundamental methodological issues relating to the study of the 18th century and the ability of \"interested\" contemporaries to mislead posterity. Given the pervasive topicality of notions of modernity and postmodernity in academia, this book advances an important discussion and should be valuable reading for all students studying the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850035581164,"sku":"9780719067419","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27889223482443.jpg?v=1759076840"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/s-barnett.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
