Review

"...a valuable conference, certainly well-prepared and well-presented that deserved publication. It will be a reliable reference on the issues." The Catholic Historical Review

"This work is the third volume in a series on toleration.... A student of toleration could hardly do better than to consult these three volumes." Canadian Journal of Political Science

"These well-written essays are accessible for undergraduates and will be particularly welcomed by historians of European intellectual and religious history." Philop F. Riley, History

"This is a good survey of both the theory and practice of toleration in eighteenth-century Europe....the papers stick closely to the main theme of tolerance, giving the volume an internal coherence that is often lacking in published conference papers." H-Net Reviews

Book Description

The Enlightenment is often seen as the great age of religious and intellectual toleration, and this volume is the first systematic pan-European survey of the theory, practice, and very real limits to toleration in eighteenth century Europe. A powerful team of contributors demonstrate how the publicists of the European Enlightenment developed earlier ideas about toleration, gradually widening the desire for religious toleration into a philosophy of freedom seen as a fundamental precondition for a civilised society. Despite this, advances in toleration nonetheless remained fragile and often short-lived.
