The first to have applied the term to a distinct period were the Germans; as early as the eighteenth century itself, they spoke, not always appreciatively, of the Aufklarung. One of the most revealing texts of the age is, appropriately enough, a popular essay by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, entitled 'Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?' Kant's answer was brief and clear: 'Enlightenment is man's emergence from his nonage.' Man has failed to reach his majority not through 'lack of intelligence' but from 'lack of determination and courage to use that intelligence without another's guidance. Sapere aude! Dare to know! Have the courage to use your own intelligence!'" ~ from the Introduction. This comprehensive anthology of the Enlightenment, compiled and edited by Peter Gay, is doubtless the most complete and wide ranging collection of its kind. It includes fifty six selections from many countries, including France, England, Scotland, the German and Italian states, the American colonies, and even Russia. A few of the selections in the book are translated for the first time and have not been available before; others are perhaps unfamiliar to English readers, but belong to a comprehensive understanding of this critical period. The first long section presents a number of selections from classical and early modern literature that in the eighteenth century were seminal to the Enlightenment. The entire anthology has a full introduction by the editor. Each selection as well as each of the sections is accompanied by an explanatory headnote, and there are bibliographical references throughout. While The Enlightenment: A Comprehensive Anthology brings together the familiar giants of the age, it also reaches out to the more unfamiliar figures of this great movement in Westem culture; and though it is an objective study, it is also a very personal enterprise~as might be expected from a historian who has written so much on this era and who is one of its chief interpreters.
