Funded Activity Summary

Saving the Appearances: Vision and Reason in the European Enlightenment. My proposal introduces a fresh perspective on the 18th century by defining vision and reason as cognate concepts. The complex dialogue relating to perception and knowledge established in this partnership turns mechanical reason into an ideal by the 17th century. By the 18th century, however, a new conception of vision emerges. Under the banner of 'Aufklarung' in Germany, an audacious attempt to end the separation of the sciences and the arts is undertaken. Analysing archival materials relating to the 18th century, the proposal seeks to correct misconceptions about the nature and extent of the movement of "enlightenment" in Europe.
