The commentary and bios did a great job of explaining the texts and humanizing the authors, but I didn't care for the selections.

royaz92's review against another edition

Surprisingly enough, I actually enjoyed it. Eighteenth century can be pretty baffling and dull, yet it's filled with seeds of greatness - also, to quote directly from the introduction, "The conversations this period started started have not ended yet." Is that the coolest thing or what?
