Publisher description
Explores the conflicts of modernity, but less as a group of ideas than as a
related set of cultural and ideological formations. The essays demonstrate how
profoundly eighteenth-century formulations of gender, race, class and sexuality
have, through their challenges to an apparently less empirical, rational, and
universalising past, set the terms for debates in the centuries that
followed.
