Enlightenment

The Enlightenment was a period of intense intellectual fervor that lasted from approximately 1650 to 1789. More a spirit than an organized movement, it sought to cast the light of understanding on the darkness of humanity's ignorance and selfishness. This book takes a look at the key players involved in the movement, from its roots in Europe to its movement across the ocean to the new nation of the United States.Stewart, Gail B. is the author of 'Enlightenment', published 2005 under ISBN 9781567119299 and ISBN 1567119298.
