Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Decline of the French Monarchy, Vol. 2 It is time to return to the history of ideas, which, daring almost all this century, unfolds side by side with the history of events, the one increasing in importance in proportion as the other diminishes. On passing from political intrigues and material strife to intellectual strife, from the generals and favorites of Louis XV. to the writers and the philosophers, we seem passing from pygmies to Titans. Here even the errors are excesses of energy and daring: they attest the vigor of the minds led astray by their very vitality. During the first period of the eighteenth century, a single man has almost unceasingly occupied the stage, - a kind of Briareus of philosophy, aiming at every thing, meditating on every thing, striking everywhere, as if he had a hundred heads and hands. This will not be the case henceforth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
