Intellectual Culture in the Interpretation of the Enlightenment
Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of a peculiar interpretation of the intellectual culture which was put forward by C.A. Helvetius. The author considered his ideas of the causes of changes in the field of literature, philosophy, religious and moral attitudes. From the modern point of view the interpretation of intellectual culture which was proposed by Helvetius is perceived like pretty schematic, to some extent simplified, it psychologically reflects the mechanisms of its functioning. But his arguments abound with deep considerations about particular phenomena, keen observations, and this fact will be the foundation for appeal to different aspects of his heritage for a long time.
