As a testing ground for modernity, the Enlightenment transformed the history of the Western world, contributing to the birth of political values and ideals that arose from its confrontation with the Ancien Régime, the slave trade, imperial colonialism, and the betrayal of revolutionary ideals in America.

Vincenzo Ferrone est historien de l’Ancien Régime et des Lumières, disciple de Franco Venturi. Professeur émérite d’histoire moderne de l’Université de Turin et membre de l’Accademia nazionale dei Lincei, il est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur les Lumières traduits dans plusieurs langues, notamment le Dictionnaire historique des Lumières (Paris, 1999), co-dirigé avec Daniel Roche.
