The Enlightenment - Invention of the Modern Self by Leo Damrosch

This is a series of lectures by Prof. Damrosch and produced by the Great Courses. The theme is the development of the "modern self" during the Enlightenment, and touches on Boswell, Rousseau, Hume and others. I listened to this while doing my long runs. It's an excellent series and understanding the Enlightenment is critical to understanding ourselves, as we are all children of the Enlightenment whether we know it or not.
