A foundational moment in the history of modern European thought, the Enlightenment continues to be a reference point for philosophers, scholars and opinion-formers. To many it remains the inspiration of our commitments to the betterment of the human condition. To others, it represents the elevation of one set of European values to the world, many of whose peoples have quite different values. But what is the relationship between the historical Enlightenment and the idea of 'Enlightenment', and can these two understandings be reconciled?

In this Very Short Introduction, John Robertson offers a concise historical introduction to the Enlightenment as an intellectual movement of eighteenth-century Europe. Discussing its intellectual achievements, he also explores how its supporters exploited new ways of communicating their ideas to a wider public, creating a new 'public sphere' for critical discussion of the moral, economic and political issues facing their societies.

Nice look, perfect size and great price!
Color: Black, Size: Small
Absolutely perfect for 5 remotes. The bins are deep and very wide. It's a very reasonable price and it's compact size fits in smaller spaces so it doesn't take up a lot of room. Also, you can't beat the price and genuine leather. Good in any room.

My remote caddy
Color: Black, Size: Small
I have so many gadgets that uses remotes, my end table looked awful with remotes everywhere and when I would move something, a remote would fall off the table. It was aggravating but now I have a nice caddy to sit on my table and it holds all of my remotes. It's beautifully designed and was shipped to me very quickly. I think it was in my mailbox within 24 hours. I'm very pleased with the item and the person I purchased it from was quick to get it to me. Thank you.

Sleek and spacious

Perfect for those who have multiple remotes and need a single place to stow them away. Material is leather like, firm and has a texture design. It suits well on a countertop or end table. It is not petite.

Great product
Color: Black, Size: Small
This is great to store multiple remotes in a small footprint clearing up table room. My 6 year old Grandson loves it also keeping remotes in one area. He operates the TV also. We loved it so much we bought a second for another room.

Perfect for me.
Color: Black, Size: Small
I was a little trepidatious before opening it all up and checking out the holder. I didn't know whether or not the larger remotes I had would fit. How would it work for the bulky / longer TV and Universal Remotes. It worked perfectly. The holder is small enough to use on a small side table next to the couch. And it's very simple to access. The living room now looks like a living room...rather than Radio Shack gone biserk.
