Enlightenment and Revolution

Paschalis M. Kitromilides

“A masterly overview of the reception and development of the Enlightenment in the Greek world and diasporas, under the Ottoman occupation, through the struggle for liberation, and during the establishment of the modern Greek state.”—Ioannis D. Evrigenis, Tufts University

“A masterly survey all the more valuable in that it genuinely fills a yawning gap, nothing of the sort, providing a general picture of the Greek Enlightenment, having been available before.”—Jonathan Israel, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton

“Kitromilides is the preeminent scholar in the field of eighteenth-century Greek history and politics, and more generally one of the world’s leading authorities on political thought and the European Enlightenment. Enlightenment and Revolution clearly constitutes his magnum opus, brilliantly summing up his extraordinary erudition concerning the Enlightenment and Greek political ideas, and providing a definitive history of the intellectual emergence of modern Greece.”—Larry Wolff, New York University
