THE ENLIGHTENMENT INVENTION OF THE MODERN SELF

In this lecture series, Professor Damrosch holds forth on the intellectual ferment of the Age of Enlightenment and how it led to permanent changes in mankind's view of itself, its place in the universe, and its relationship to God. The good professor is not an off-the-cuff kind of guy; he works from a prepared text from which he departs only rarely. Fortunately, he reads well and writes beautifully. Y.R.
