Curating the Enlightenment

Beschreibung

In late seventeenth-century Europe, scholars crafted the research university as a haven for critical inquiry in defiance of political and economic pressures. Across new fields, from experimental science to archaeology and museology, academics abandoned established intellectual practices and curated the concept of the research discipline itself.
