Description

Explore the history of the Enlightenment through a new lens with this scholarly work from De Gruyter. This book examines the influence of Christian Wolff, a philosopher whose ideas shaped the 18th century. While Wolff's philosophy was widespread, its success relied on a dedicated network of followers who defended his work against critics. This research focuses on Ernst Christoph von Manteuffel, a figure previously overlooked in this context. As a Reichsgraf, Cabinet Minister of Saxony-Poland, and an agent for the Viennese court, Manteuffel played a central role in managing the network of Wolffian followers. The text provides a detailed study of how he initiated and led this influential group for over fifteen years until his death in 1749. Part of the Fruhe Neuzeit series, this volume offers academic insight into the social and political structures that supported the spread of Enlightenment thought. It is an essential read for historians and students interested in the intellectual history of the 18th century and the specific roles played by political figures in the propagation of philosophy.
