Eighteenth-Century Thought

Ten essays grace the second voyage of the new annual, along with a review essay and reviews of eight recent books, all related to any aspect of thinking during the period known to historians, though perhaps not strictly to horologists, as the 18th century. Among the topics are Christian Thomasius on the right of Protestant princes regarding heretics, religion and pleasures in Polignac's Anti-Lucretius, formic acid and the university dissemination of enlightenment science, and Kant on the disorders and talents of cognition in his Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View.
