An Interpretation
"Professor Peter Gay has become the leading American student of the Enlightenment, and the present volume is therefore of great importance. In many ways it is an extraordinary and brilliant book."
—R. R. VaXmtv, Journal of Modern History "Mr. Gay gives us that rare work of intellectual history, a book which attempts to shape contemporary thought as much as to analyze and evaluate the thought of the past."
—John Ratte, Book Week "Gay's picture of the philosophes is persuasive, put forward with profound scholarship and ease of style."
—George L. Mosse, The New York Times Book Review "It is a most impressive book: broad in scholarship, and supported by a very extensive and intelligent bibliographical essay; graceful in style; and persuasive in its major thesis.

—George R. Healy, William and Mary Quarterly "Commitment to criticism, and its history, is the theme of Peter Gay's erudite, witty, beautifully written book. The campus is becoming the womb of social dialectic and intellectual revolution that will effectively criticize and change the structure of industrial society: its social and sexual morals as well as its economic organization may be blowing up. If it does, may this New Enlightenment secure, in the fullness of time, as wise, as elegant a historian as Peter Gay." —J. H. V\\xmh, Saturday Review
Peter Gay is a professor of history at Yale University. His most recent book is Freud: A Life for Our Time, also published by Norton.
