Carl Lotus Becker Libri

Carl Becker fu uno storico americano il cui lavoro si concentrò sull'Illuminismo. La sua scrittura più influente sfidò le assunzioni dei filosofi illuministi, sostenendo che il loro pensiero fosse più profondamente radicato in presupposti cristiani di quanto volessero ammettere. Questa affermazione è stata sia celebrata che intensamente dibattuta. L'eredità di Becker come educatore è ulteriormente riconosciuta attraverso istituzioni accademiche.

Based on the Storrs lectures delivered at Yale University A distinguished American historian challenges the belief that 18th century was essentially modern in its temper. In crystalline prose Carl L. Becker demonstrates that the period commonly described as the Age of Reason was, in fact, very far from that. Voltaire, Hume, Diderot & Locke were living in a medieval world. They "demolished the Heavenly City of St. Augustine only to rebuild it with more up-to-date materials."
