by Compiled By The National Geographic Society
About This Novel
The Enlightenment was a political and cultural movement that aimed at radically reforming the ideological structures of the ancien régime. Thinkers such as Rousseau, Voltaire, and Kant held high the banner of reason and further liberated people's minds. Various new ideas emerged one after another, until the "Declaration of Human Rights" at the end of the century. This book combs the historical clues of the development of the Enlightenment and the theoretical logic of the brilliant thinkers and schools of this period, and observes how they shaped the modern world. In addition, this book explains the profound impact that European expansion had on other parts of the world during this period, such as the American Revolutionary War. The history of Europe in the 18th century is like a world history.
