From Bayle to the Batavian Revolution
This book is an attempt to assess the part played by philosophy in the eighteenth-century Dutch Enlightenment. Following Bayle’s death and the demise of the radical Enlightenment, Dutch philosophers soon embraced Newtonianism and by the second half of the century Wolffianism also started to spread among Dutch academics. Once the Republic started to crumble, Dutch enlightened discourse took a political turn, but with the exception of Frans Hemsterhuis, who chose to ignore the political crisis, it failed to produce original philosophers. By the end of the century, the majority of Dutch philosophers typically refused to embrace Kant’s transcendental project as well as his cosmopolitanism. Instead, early nineteenth-century Dutch professors of philosophy preferred to cultivate their joint admiration for the Ancients.
Intellectual Tacking
Isabelle de Charrière (Belle van Zuylen) has been known primarily as a novelist who experimented with narrative techniques to express her concern about the oppression of women in her society. Most scholarship has focused on only a small part of her work, her pre-revolutionary novels. This is one of the first synthetic studies of Charrière's entire oeuvre, and it turns its attention to Charrière's overlooked contribution as an intellectual in the eighteenth-century debate over education.

Uw sekse en de onze
De afwezigheid van vrouwen bij activiteiten van genootschappen was aanvankelijk zo vanzelfsprekend dat de reglementen geen melding maken van het uitsluiten of toelaten van vrouwen. In de achttiende eeuw kwam hierin verandering. Dichtgenootschappen nodigden getalenteerde vruwen uit lid te worden. Zeeuwse vrouwen richtten een natuurkundig genootschap op, waar zij lessin in de natuurwetenschappen volgden. Toch was het voor vrouwen niet makkelijk om lid te worden van formele genootschappen, onder meer door de toelatingseisen en het gevraagde lidgeld. Verder wordt de positie van de Nederlandse vrouwen vergeleken met die van hun seksegenoten in Groot-Brittannië, Frankrijk en Duitsland.
