From the rear cover
Huppert argues that all attempts to suppress this movement failed because the program of the early philosophes and of their successors was deeply embedded in the classical educational system devised in the 1520s, the so-called ""style of Paris."" In the sixteenth century, these schools existed in such profusion and were so free of clerical or state interference that they became the foundation of a new culture which stood in direct opposition to age-old pieties.
Through a series of portraits, Huppert presents the essential traits of this new culture. The teachers, lawyers, scientists, and priests called on here to illustrate the philosophes' outlook are little-known figures, for the most part, but their legacy is substantial. To demonstrate their importance, Huppert sets the mature reflections of eighteenth-century ideologues such as Kant, Voltaire, and Jefferson against the background, not of occasional precursors, but of an entire culture ineradicably permeated by revolutionary ideas born in the classrooms and the bookshops of Renaissance Paris.
