“…95 Frederick must be credited with having patronised an outstanding theologian, but Warburton's unorthodoxy and notorious rudeness to his critics may have tainted his association with a clergyman, whom Gibbon described as the 'dictator and tyrant' of mid-eighteenth-century theology. 96 Sorkin describes Warburton as a 'Moderate', rather than as a Latitudinarian; his advocacy of doctrinal tests and Protestant pluralism, rather than comprehension, certainly places him in opposition to the Latitudinarian tradition. 97 Latitudinarianism, however, is a notoriously abstruse, pejorative and malleable term.…”

Evolving out of a seventeenth-century pastoral Arminianism, Latitudinarianism in the eighteenth century denoted a clique of lowchurchmen, who opposed doctrinal tests as an affront to private judgement and as obstructing a reunion with Dissent.…”

This prosopographical study of the chaplains of Frederick Louis, prince of Wales (1707-51), explores their political, cultural, theological and intellectual significance. It examines their dual allegiance to George II (as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England) and to Leicester House. It advances Frederick's credentials as a significant patron of the British Enlightenment and demonstrates that his clerical patronage made an important contribution to the cultural and intellectual dynamism of his rival court and to his conscious self-fashioning as a connoisseur of the arts and as an enlightened Patriot Prince.

Un culte universaliste de la raison ? Réflexions sur les Lumières, l'universalisme et les particularismes culturels Résumé : Peut-on caractériser le XVIII e siècle des Lumières principalement par une croyance en des valeurs et des politiques universellement applicables, parallèlement à une forte adhésion à la souveraineté de la raison ? Cette vision émergeant au XIX e siècle, popularisée à l'origine par les détracteurs des Lumières, a été largement adoptée par des penseurs du milieu du XX e siècle de convictions très différentes, d'Isaiah Berlin en Grande-Bretagne à Max Horkheimer et Theodor Adorno en Allemagne. En examinant la dette de Berlin envers Friedrich Meinecke et son hostilité à la vision des Lumières d'Ernst Cassirer, cet article reconstruit les éléments d'un paradigme influent dans l'histoire des idées du XX e siècle. Il se termine en suggérant que deux notions qui, selon Berlin, étaient des caractéristiques des Contre-Lumières-l'enracinement linguistique de la pensée humaine et l'historicité de la culture humaine-ont en fait été soutenues de différentes manières par la plupart des auteurs des Lumières, contribuant ainsi à une théorie distincte du XVIII e siècle sur l'évolution naturelle de la société humaine.
