Abstract
The study of English and American radicalism in the eighteenth century has become the focus of a lively historical debate in the last two or three decades. The renewed appreciation of the radical Enlightenment owes its inception to the liberalism of the 1960s, which sought its intellectual origin in that era. We can but derive pleasure and hope from the fact that this search is still going on in our days of social and political Neoconservatism.
