Définition

  • The term Counter-Enlightenment is intended to capture self-conscious critics of the Enlightenment and its legacy. The term achieved widespread scholarly usage following the 1981 republication of Isaiah Berlin's essay “The Counter-Enlightenment.” Berlin's essay examined a late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century intellectual reaction against the Enlightenment ideals of the French philosophes, expressed by thinkers such as Giambattista Vico, J. G. Hamann, Johann Gottfried Herder, Friedrich Schelling, Edmund Burke, and Joseph de Maistre. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Counter-Enlightenment]
