Religion in the Age of Enlightenment, v. 1 (Hardcover)

Religion in the Age of Enlightenment (RAE) publishes scholarly examinations of: religion and religious attitudes and practices during the age of Enlightenment; the impact of the Enlightenment on religious thought, and religious experience; and, the ways religion informed Enlightenment ideas and values, from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including, but not limited to, history, theology, literature, philosophy, the social and physical sciences, economics, and the law. While the Enlightenment generally refers to an eighteenth-century philosophical and cultural movement that swept through Western Europe, the editors welcome studies that encompass the seventeenth-century intellectual movements that gave rise to the ideals of the Enlightenment - for example, materialism, skepticism, rationalism, and empiricism - as well as studies that consider later manifestations of Enlightenment ideas and values during the early nineteenth century. The editors likewise welcome studies of non-Western religious topics and issues in light of Enlightenment attitudes. In addition to publishing original research in these areas, RAE includes reviews of books that explore topics relevant to the thematic scope of the annual.
