Abstract

Abstract

The Enlightenment, long known as the "Age of Reason," has increasingly been associated with "feeling" in recent scholarship. The eighteenth century witnessed a concerted effort on the part of Enlightenment thinkers to comprehend the connections between the body and the mind through the lens of feeling. A powerful strand of Enlightenment thought seeks to justify feeling and thereby suture the body and the mind by turning feeling into a bridge between the two, capable of transforming sensations and physical reactions to the environment into conditions for proper moral and aesthetic judgment.
