This eagerly awaited study brings to completion Louis Dupré's planned trilogy on European culture during the modern epoch. Demonstrating remarkable erudition and sweeping breadth, The Quest of the Absolute analyzes Romanticism as a unique cultural phenomenon and a spiritual revolution.

 

Book Review and Awards

With this volume Dupré (emer., philosophy, Yale) completes a trilogy that began with Passage to Modernity (1993) and proceeded with The Enlightenment and Intellectual Foundations of Modern Culture (CH, Nov'04, 42-1479). Like its predecessors, this work extends the boundaries of an intellectual persuasion by refusing to see it as merely characteristic of a given time period.--R. K. Mookerjee, Eugene Lang College, The New School for the Liberal Arts
