Description

Explore the massive intellectual shift in Europe between 1500 and 1700 with The Kingdom of Darkness. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work by Dmitri Levitin examines how speculative philosophy lost its central role in European life. The book investigates the structural changes that led to the emancipation of natural philosophy from metaphysics and the rise of philology among theologians. By looking at historical and oriental scholarship, including studies of China and Japan, Levitin explains how new ideas about the limits of the human mind emerged. This history provides a deep look at the transformation of European thought through the lens of famous thinkers like Bayle and Newton.
