Features: This book is an important collection of documents. It includes responses, reflections, and analyses from a group of thinkers from the late 18th and 20th centuries, such as Kant, Hamann, Fichte, Habermas, Horkheimer, Foucault, and others, on the question of "What is Enlightenment." The breadth and depth of the content covered are astonishing. Some of the translations from German are not only fresh for Chinese readers but also little known in the English-speaking world. The book offers both profound reflections on the Enlightenment movement and a deep examination of modernity issues related to it.
