Phoenix, 2012 - 361 páginas
"Blom skillfully evokes the characters of these young men.... [His] coupling of the lives of the "philosophes" with their thought helps make their ideas less desiccated than they might otherwise have appeared in the hands of a more academic writer. He has an admirable ability to get to the heart of what Spinoza, Hume or Voltaire argued."--"Wall Street Journal"
