The Enlightenment: A Very Short Introduction (Very… door John Robertson

One major takeaway from this book is that the study of history and other cultures, religions, economies can help identify and conceptualize problems in our own. History was a tool great thinkers like Voltaire, Gibbons and others used to inform their arguments and advance society.

Overall, this was a rewarding read, and greatly improved my understanding of the Enlightenment.

The Enlightenment: A Very Short Introduction (Very… door John Robertson

This is a thematic summary, rather than a chronological one, which makes it helpful, but probably not the best "introduction" to the period that the title implies.
