Toleration in Enlightenment Europe
ISBN: 9780521032162 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Enlightenment is often seen as the great age of religious and intellectual toleration, and this volume is the first systematic pan-European survey of the theory, practice, and very real limits to toleration in eighteenth century Europe. A powerful team of contributors demonstrate how the publicists of the European Enlightenment developed earlier ideas about toleration, gradually widening the desire for religious toleration into a philosophy of freedom seen as a fundamental precondition for a civilized society. Despite this, advances in toleration remained fragile and often short-lived.

ISBN: 9780521038249 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Based on sources in six countries, this study provides the first survey of these crucial events.
