Contextualizing Denis Diderot. 520 3 $a "Over the last three decades Anthony La Vopa has extended his reach as an Enlightenment historian from Germany to England, Scotland, and France. Enlightenment Past and Present: Essays in a Social History of Ideas provides insights into all four contexts, with a view to understanding the Enlightenment's contours in spaces that were distinct but nonetheless shared in a European-wide engagement with a cluster of political, social, and cultural issues. The volume explores a wide variety of themes in the formation of modernity, including the construction of a public, the emergence of modern feminism, the problematic legitimacy of sexuality and marriage, the ideal and practice of friendship, patron-client relations, the conversational sociability of politeness, and the evolution of the essay as a genre. La Vopa aims to demonstrate in practice the new interest in restoring the social to intellectual history without falling back into reductionism. He throws a spotlight on a number of key texts in eighteenth-century philosophy. In several essays, La Vopa employs the resources of meaning in rhetorical cultures with thick social contexts to present Enlightenment texts not simply as print records, but as rhetorical performances with specific audiences. He also often intertwines contexts by focusing on biographical experience, using 'private' life traces such as diaries and other forms of correspondence, to enhance our understanding of published discourse. While drawing on the history of philosophy, the volume takes a decidedly more historical path through the canon. It includes essay reviews which take stock of developments in Enlightenment studies via critical appraisals of major recent contributions to the field."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Enlightenment. 650 0 $a Enlightenment $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Philosophy, Modern $y 18th century. 650 7 $a Eighteenth century. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00904058 650 7 $a Enlightenment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912527 650 7 $a Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060777 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a University of Oxford. 730 0 $a Enlightenment. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781802070828 773 18 $w 990075856550202771 $g no:31858072866514 830 0 $a Oxford University studies in the Enlightenment ; $v 2022:09. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013755.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7CC1CF08DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
