    The Cambridge Platonists were contemporaries of Descartes @Jints but the Enlightenment had a different evolution (with a different emphasis) in France, Britain (incl importantly Scotland, of course) and Germany.
    This book’s about the British experience.

    Recent reading:

    They by Kay Dick - quirky and bizarre
    Ghost Mountain by Ronan Hession - excellent
    Vanishing World by Sayaka Murata - good but odd
    Sex and Drugs and Rock n roll by Richard Balls - very good biog of Ian Dury
    Stonor by John Williams - excellent if dour
    Gilead by Marilynne Robinson - pretty dull
    Question 7 by Richard Flanagan - very good
    Bowieland by Peter Carpenter - overwritten and self indulgent twaddle

    Now on Henry James, Turn of the Screw.
