Product Description

Gertrude Himmelfarb's elegant & eminently readable work, The Roads to Modernity, reclaims the Enlightenment from historians who have downgraded its importance & from scholars who have given preeminence to the Enlightenment in France over concurrent movements in England &
America.

Contrasting the Enlightenments in the three nations, Himmerlfarb demonstrates the primacy & wisdom of the British, exemplified in such thinkers as Adam Smith, David Hume, & Edmund Burke, as well as the unique & enduring contributions of the American Founders. It is their Enlightenments, she argues, that created a social ethic
- humane, compassionate & realistic
- that still resonates strongly today.
