Description

Explore the deep roots of the modern era with The Intellectual Origins of Modernity. Part of the Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought series, this book examines the evolution of modern thought from Rousseau to Foucault. Rather than focusing on simple ideas of progress or enlightenment, this work looks at the Promethean passion of Western humankind. This text investigates the human drive to be masters of their own destiny and the desire to use insight to reshape the world. It traces how this specific passion helped form the political ideologies of the nineteenth century and left a lasting imprint on the development of social and political thought. For students and readers interested in history and political philosophy, this book provides a unique perspective on the forces that drive human liberation and the desire to break from immemorial chains.
