Rationalists, the most famous of whom was Kant, posited a mind that was hierarchically arranged, with reason sitting atop of the passions. Yet as Michael Frazer argues, there were in fact two enlightenments - the sentimentalist enlightenment and the rationalist one - and this book reclaims the importance of the former.
