Description: Secular City : Studies in the Enlightenment, Hardcover by Hemming, T. D.; Freeman, E.; Meakin, D. (EDT), ISBN 0859894169, ISBN-13 9780859894166, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Central to the Enlightenment is the ideal of the Secular City, in militant reply to the Civitas Dei of St Augustine. The essays in this volume, all by distinguished eighteenth century specialists, illustrate the elaboration of that vision, both in the planning and depiction of actual cities and in the speculation on social justice to which Voltaire in particular devoted himself. Yet even in him, secularization is never total, and the persistence of a displaced religious, even messianic strain in the Enlightenment is also illustrated in a variety of writers, culminating in the contradictions of the French Revolution.
