{"product_id":"history-and-nature-in-the-nathaniel-wolloch-9781409421146","title":"History and Nature in the Enlightenment: Praise of the Mastery of Nature in Eighteenth-Century Historical Literature","description":"The mastery of nature was viewed by eighteenth-century historians as an important measure of the progress of civilization. Modern scholarship has hitherto taken insufficient notice of this important idea. This book discusses the topic in connection with the mainstream religious, political, and philosophical elements of Enlightenment culture. It considers works by Edward Gibbon, Voltaire, Herder, Vico, Raynal, Hume, Adam Smith, William Robertson, and a wide range of lesser- and better-known figures. It also discusses many classical, medieval, and early modern sources which influenced Enlightenment historiography, as well as eighteenth-century attitudes toward nature in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathaniel Wolloch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1409421147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781409421146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Nathaniel Wolloch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065540423935,"sku":"9781409421146","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_472bbfd0-0cfe-4b75-9a25-2282b4640251.jpg?v=1768675639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-and-nature-in-the-nathaniel-wolloch-9781409421146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
