Sommario/riassunto

Long description: The message of these essays is that the Enlightenment should not be regarded as a revolutionary programme for the future. The philosophers of the Enlightenment hoped to educate individuals in the light of modern science according to Kant's  adage: Aude sapere  and did not want to change the structure of society.   F.L.van Holthoon is emeritus professor of social history in the University of Groningen.
