Article Title：Reading the silences, questioning the terms - A response to the focus on eighteenth-century ethics
Abstract：
It is striking that most of the essays in this focus do not explore the specifically religious aspects of Enlightenment ethical thought. a principled reason for this may be found in a conception of religion that makes it hard for Enlightenment thinkers to seem religious at all. Neither does this conception fit anything that is likely to be a live option for most people today, and the now prevalent unpopularity of eighteenth-century piety and religious thought may blind us to important religious possibilities.
