RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Lok, MatthijsYR 2014 T1 Vijanden van de Verlichting - Antiverlichting en Verlichting in de Europese intellectuele geschiedenis JF Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis, VO 127 IS 2 SP 211 OP 228 DO https://doi.org/10.5117/TVGESCH2014.2.LOK PB Amsterdam University Press, SN 2352-1163, AB In this article several new publications on the critics of the Enlightenment are reviewed. These works build partly on the legacy of Isaiah Berlin’s concept of the Counter-Enlightenment, but they also emphasise the problematic nature of his essentialistic and timeless interpretation of the Counter-Enlightenment tradition. The authors argue that the so-called enemies of the Enlightenment should in fact be examined as part of the Enlightenment itself, and that the Enlightenment cannot be understood without studying its self-proclaimed enemies., UL https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/TVGESCH2014.2.LOK
