Kings and philosophers, 1689-1789

Book

Kings and philosophers, 1689-1789 / Leonard Krieger.

Krieger, Leonard. (Author). Rogers D. Spotswood Collection. (Added Author).

Summary:

The one hundred years that preceded the French Revolution witnessed the rise of kings to unmatched power and influence in European affairs. These years also encompassed the birth, maturation and waning of the Enlightenment. The author shows how the monarchical tradition and the new intellectual developments were reflected in the latter half of the period during the rule of "philosopher kings", the enlightened absolutists. He analyzes too the origins of a movement toward representative government and the stirrings of political and social revolt that would bring the period to an abrupt end.
