2015 Conference

This volume investigates the impact of the first and third Earls of Shaftesbury on Enlightenment thought. It takes an in-depth look both at their concrete activities on the political stage of their respective times and at the more general intellectual repercussions of what the two men stood for in word and deed. Shaping Enlightenment Politics accordingly offers important re-evaluations of the contributions made by each of these towering figures to much-contested issues of the day, for example slavery or the discourse of civic humanism, as well as to party politics.
