Description: Secular Contract : The Politics of Enlightenment, Hardcover by Schulman, Alex, ISBN 1441106642, ISBN-13 9781441106643, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Schulman (political science, Duke U., US) describes what he calls the production of the "secular contract" by the philosophers of the European Enlightenment. The secular contract, as he describes it, involves the separation of the political-temporal sphere from spiritual matters, as well as the application to politics of forms of knowledge born from the scientific revolution in a manner that undermined divine-scriptural authority and the hierarchical-dogmatic authority of a priestly class. In reconstructing this idea of the secular contract, he argues that it can serve as a buttress to the more commonly discussed social contract by making more meaningful the assumption of continual, piecemeal consent in the latter.
