Libertine Enlightenment Sex Liberty And Licence In The Eighteenth Century Peter Cryle by Peter Cryle, Lisa O’connell, (editors) instant download after payment.

The Enlightenment is usually thought of as one of the great capital-letter moments in European history. In France, Germany and Britain, ‘philosophy’ came in the eighteenth century to be defined in its modern sense as the disciplined exercise of Reason. The truths of earlier times were subject to re-examination, and age-old beliefs called into question. The critical identification of ‘prejudice’ became a widespread intellectual activity and its disparagement a routine rhetorical practice. Recently, however, the Enlightenment has itself become the object of concerted critique. It is deemed by some to be a great cultural monolith, an imperial, indeed an imperialist edifice — and not without reason. From the enlightened standpoint, forms of thought that fail to conform to its own criteria can be depreciated or disqualified by being placed in more ignorant, prejudiced or primitive phases of historical development. Many contemporary philosophers have thus come to question what Gadamer calls ‘the prejudice against prejudice’ (1975), rejecting the Enlightenment habit of deprecating its others. More particularly, post-colonial thinkers have noted the condescension with which the West tends to judge other cultural traditions whose patterns of thought do not regularly conform to Enlightenment models.
