The religious enlightenment, 1688-1730 -- The Presbyterian enlightenment and the nature of man -- The Anglican enlightenment and the nature of God -- The Catholic enlightenment and the nature of law -- Social enlightenment, ca. 1730-ca. 1760 -- Languages of civility -- The enlightened counter public -- Communities of interest -- Political enlightenment, ca. 1760-1798 -- A culture of trust? -- Fracturing the Irish enlightenment -- An enlightened civil war -- Conclusion: Ireland's missing modernity.
Summary: During the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, Scotland and England produced well-know figures as David Hume, Adam Smith, and John Locke. Ireland's contribution to this revolution in Western thought has received much less attention. Offering a corrective to the view that Ireland was intellectually stagnant during this period, The Irish Enlightenment considers a range of artists, writers, and philosophers who were full participants in the pan-European experiment that forged the modern world.
