Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the spread of enlightened despotism in Europe during the 18th century. Unlike previous analyses, the author emphasizes the movement's foundational principles and how they led to reforms across the continent. They argue that the enlightened despots' focus on education, religious toleration, and the abolition of serfdom were not simply the result of their personal beliefs, but rather part of a broader intellectual and political transformation in Europe. The author argues that enlightened despotism represented a shift away from traditional notions of monarchy towards a more rational and humanitarian approach to governance, and that the reforms implemented by these rulers laid the groundwork for many key ideas and institutions that define modern society.
