Description & Specifications

A delightful confrontation between a relentless critic of the European Enlightenment, a pioneer of it, and a devil's advocate - none other than Lucian, who always considered dialogue to be the child of Philosophy and the enemy of rhetoric...

A book that highlights the current role of the Enlightenment in a world that is sinking into superstition, credulity, and intolerance.

“I wrote these dialogues to serve two different but related goals: to demonstrate the enduring vitality of the Enlightenment and to obstruct some persistently erroneous readings of it. These goals are, of course, inseparable: only insofar as we know what the Enlightenment was can we understand what it can offer us today.”
