The Enlightenment
Just finished reading "The Enlightenment - The Pursuit of Happiness 1680-1790" by Ritchie Robertson, published by Harper.
"The Enlightenment" is a rather curious hundred-ten year period in human history where society tried to embrace the growing field of professional science and the attempt to codify it into all aspects of human activity and life that had widespread implications in moving humanity forward.
Robertson, who just happens to be the Professor of German at Oxford University, a fellow of the British Academy, and a lead reviewer for the Times Literary Supplement, has written a comprehensive and sweeping history of such an important moment in human history.
Strongly Recommended.
Five Stars.
