| 描述 | The Scottish Enlightenment shaped a new conception of history as a gradual and universal progress from savagery to civil society. Whereas women emancipated themselves from the yoke of male-masters, men in turn acquired polite manners and became civilized.

Could modern societies escape the destiny of earlier empires and avoid decadence? Was there a limit beyond which women‘s influence might result in dehumanization? The Scottish Enlightenment‘s legacy for modernity emerges here as a two-faced Janus, an unresolved tension between universalism and hierarchy, progress and the limits of progress.. |
