Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking as its focus the wide-ranging character of the Enlightenment, both in geographical and intellectual terms, this second collection of articles by John Gascoigne explores this movement's filiation and influence in a range of contexts. It emphasises the evolutionary rather than the revolutionary character of the Enlightenment and its ability to change society by adaptation rather than demolition. It refers, firstly, to developments in Britain tracing the changing views of history in relation to the Biblical account, the ideological uses of science (and particularly the work of Newton) and their connections to developments in moral philosophy and teaching. The collection then turns to the wider global setting and the way in which the Enlightenment served to provide a justification for European exploration and expansion, and explores the interplay between the experience of Pacific contact and currents of thought in Enlightenment Germany.
