Yet the debates which surrounded the development of Eighteenth-century thought were always open to troubling doubts. Was nature itself truly an ordered entity, as Newton had argued, or was it a mass of chaotic, randomly moving atoms, as some materialist thinkers believed? This book explores the tensions and conflicts in these debates through a series of interdisciplinary essays from leading international scholars, each challenging the idea that the Eighteenth century was an age of order. | | 出版日期 | Book 2006 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Britain; eighteenth century; enlightenment; kingdom; revolution | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9780230518889 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-51923-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-230-51888-9Series ISSN 2946-2053 Series E-ISSN 2946-2061 | | issn_series | 2946-2053 | | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2006 |
