Enlightenment Cosmopolitanism

Informationen zum Autor David Adams Brings together contributions by scholars working across a wide array of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Interdisciplinary in its methodology and compass, with a strong comparative European dimension, this title examines discourses ranging from literature, historiography, music and opera to anthropology and political philosophy. Zusammenfassung This book aims to add to existing knowledge of how eighteenth-century ideas of human nature and rights, of universal progress, peace, and wealth were embodied in texts and other artefacts, and how they served as the foundation for future discursive mobilisations of Enlightenment Cosmopolitanism.
