      abstract = {"The Enlightenment has long been seen as synonymous with  the beginnings of modern Western intellectual and political  culture. As a set of ideas and a social movement, this  historical moment, the 'age of reason' of the seventeenth  and eighteenth century, is marked by attempts to place  knowledge on new foundations. The Cambridge Companion to  the French Enlightenment brings together essays by leading  scholars representing disciplines ranging from philosophy,  religion and literature, to art, medicine, anthropology and  architecture, to analyse the French Enlightenment. Each  essay presents a concise view of an important aspect of the  French Enlightenment, discussing its defining  characteristics, internal dynamics and historical  transformations. The Companion discusses the most  influential reinterpretations of the Enlightenment that  have taken place during the last two decades,  reinterpretations that both reflect and have contributed to  important re-evaluations of received ideas about the  Enlightenment and the early modern period more generally."  -- Publisher's description.},
