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.
