The main merit of the volume discussed here is that it presents the Catholic intellectual thinking of the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century through contemporary texts, which enables a more complex, differentiated interpretation of the Enlightenment. The volume is in fact a source publication, where the edited circulars shed light upon the path taken by the Catholic Church in its relation towards the Enlightenment from sympathy to harsh criticism and open confrontation. At the same time, we also get an eclectic picture on how different positions the representatives of the clergy expressed, depending on the challenges they responded in different eras and along different principles.
