The Crisis of the English Mind, 1650-1750 European Intellectual Exchange, Religion and Secularisation
di Marco Barducci Boydell & Brewer , 2025 https://boydellandbrewer.com/book/the-crisis-of-the-english-mind-1650-1750-9781837650026/ Between 1650 and 1750 the intellectual and religious landscape of England underwent profound transformations, shaped by an unprecedented engagement with Dutch and French books and ideas. Works by Descartes, Grotius, Spinoza, Bayle and others introduced new modes of thought, prompting English thinkers to reimagine the relationship between scripture, reason, ethics and scholarship. These texts, circulating in Latin, French and English, challenged traditional authority and invited scholars to reconcile Christianity with history, philosophy and the emerging natural sciences. This book.places the central intellectual and religious debates of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England in a refreshing transnational perspective.
