Is it merely some corporeal aspect, or rather some specific mental capacity, language, or some form of moral agency or social life? Is there a gendered bias within the concept of humanity? How do human beings become more human, and can we somehow cease to be human? This volume provides some answers to these fundamental questions and more by charting the increased preoccupation of the European Enlightenment with the concepts of humankind and humanity.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapters investigate the philosophical concerns of major figures across Western Europe, including Montesquieu, Diderot, Rousseau, Locke, Hume, Ferguson, Kant, Herder, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach and the Comte de Buffon. As these philosophers develop important descriptive and comparative approaches to the human species and moral and social ideals of humanity, they present a view of the Enlightenment project as a particular kind of humanism that is different from its Ancient and Renaissance predecessors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With contributions from a team of internationally recognized scholars, including Stephen Gaukroger, Michael Forster, Céline Spector, Jacqueline Taylor, and Günter Zöller, this book offers a novel interpretation of the Enlightenment that is both clear in focus and impressive in scope.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStefanie Buchenau\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of German and European History of Ideas at the University Paris 8 Saint-Denis, France. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAnsgar Lyssy\u003c\/b\u003e currently holds a fixed-term position as a philosophy professor at the University of Leipzig, Germany.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 20, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52725291188531,"sku":"9781350384750","price":78.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ji25sVz4W-9781350384750.webp?v=1763708262","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/humankind-and-humanity-in-the-philosophy-of-the-enlightenment-from-locke-to-kant-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
