Dmitri Levitin (University of Oxford)

Gebundenes Buch

The Kingdom of Darkness

Beschreibung

This book offers a transformative account of early modern European intellectual history, culminating in new interpretations of two of its leading minds: Pierre Bayle and Isaac Newton. It charts the process by which speculative philosophy was gradually excluded from the European system of knowledge, not least via new genealogies of global thought.
