The Practices of the Enlightenment: Aesthetics, Authorship, and the Public

by Dorothea E. von von Mücke and Dorothea E. von Mücke

Rethinking the relationship between eighteenth-century Pietist traditions and Enlightenment thought and practice, The Practices of Enlightenment unravels the complex and often neglected religious origins of modern secular discourse. Mapping surprising routes of exchange between the religious and aesthetic writings of the period and recentering concerns of authorship and audience, this book revitalizes scholarship on the Enlightenment.
