"Light and Enlightenment in Early Modern Philosophy and Religion"

Presented by:
Norbert Samuelson, Professor of Religious Studies, ASU
This lecture surveys the early modern period of western European history (from the 14th to the 17th centuries) to compare changes in the conception of "light" and "vision" in the physical sciences with changes in the conception of "enlightenment" in Jewish and Christian eschatology with an eye to understanding more generally the complex ways that science and religion are related.
