About this book
Reviews
“This collection of thought-provoking and innovative essays sets up a triangular dialogue between scholars of the Enlightenment, historians of particular great modern thinkers (especially Hobbes and Kant) and theorists of secularism in our contemporary world of considerable value. It is most certainly a valuable new perspective on both philosophy of religion and contemporary secularism.” (Jonathan Israel, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA)
