The Faith of Reason: The Idea of Progress in the French Enlightenment is a scholarly work by Charles Frankel that explores the concept of progress during the French Enlightenment. The book examines how the Enlightenment thinkers believed in the power of reason and science to improve society and advance humanity. Frankel delves into the works of prominent philosophers such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, and Condorcet, and analyzes their ideas about progress in areas such as politics, economics, and social justice. The author also explores the tensions and contradictions within the Enlightenment movement, such as the conflict between reason and tradition, and the limitations of progress in the face of human fallibility. Overall, The Faith of Reason offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of the Enlightenment's legacy and its impact on modern Western thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
