I'm curently studdying the French revolution and reading a passage that talks about the reasons of it - the ideology of the age of enlightement and various economic reasons etc. and here is an excerpt:
... "The French enlighteners critised the old order and advocated freedom and equality. Similar ideas were promoted by lodges (associations) of free masons, members of the wealthy citizenship and a part of the nobility. Their goal at the time was for people - regerdless of religious, national or class background- to be raised in the spirit of brothelry concord and mutual helping." ...
This seems very strange to me. Who has even let this textbook to be relesed? Total charlatanism. Even if it is perhaps true ( I don't know) it's perplexing to see it beeing put in the textbook.
And I just began reading. Who knows what next I will find since this is a topic of pretty great significance - revolution for the destruction of apsolutism and the fedual order, proclamation of constitutions all around Europe - they will probably seek to distort it.
