Rousseaus Counter-Enlightenment: A Republican Critique of the Philosophes Garrard Graeme

The philosophes, placing faith in reason and natural human sociability and subjecting religion to systematic criticism and doubt, naively minimized the deep tensions and complexities of collective life and the power disintegrative forces posed to social order.
