SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
An innovative and ambitious comparative study of the emergence of Enlightenment in Scotland and Naples. Challenging the recent tendency to fragment the Enlightenment in eighteenth-century Europe into multiple Enlightenments, John Robertson demonstrates the extent to which thinkers in two societies at the opposite ends of Europe shared common intellectual preoccupations.
