“For a long time, German Enlightenment research stood in the overwhelming shadow of idealism, classicism, neo-humanism and romanticism. Kondylis's book (first edition 1981) fundamentally changed our ideas about the Enlightenment. Kondylis does not undertake any epoch reconstruction; he transcends the national Enlightenment traditions (England, France, Germany); he foregoes a social history of authors and intellectual groups; rather, he examines the exchange processes between philosophy and scientific theory in the early modern period. The focus of his book is the reformation of philosophy from 1750 onwards. The book is oriented towards the reconstruction of the relationship between spirit and matter.

"... astonishing in many ways: in its scope, in its closeness to the material and its distance from the subject, in the abundance of apt and therefore malicious comments, in its mastery of historical and systematic argumentation and, lastly, in its power of formulation. Enlightenment research has been enriched by a standard work." Zeno "... breaks away from clichés and sets new evaluation standards of the Enlightenment." Journal for philosophical research"
