Conférences au Château de Mongenan : Au bon temps de la République des Lettres to Portets
Le 30/11/2025Languages spoken
To coincide with the publication of her book by Dervy-Médicis: Savoirs et Franc-Maçonnerie au Siècle des Lumières (Knowledge and Freemasonry in the Age of Enlightenment), Florence Mothe will be devoting twelve lectures from 28 September to 21 December to the Academies movement, which gave rise throughout France to new ideas centred on philosophers, scholars, scientists and fine minds. This wide-ranging overview will provide an insight into the exceptional diversity of the curiosities of the time, and the originality of its thinkers and their works.
