A Journey Through Time is a great introduction to the Enlightenment and how it still shapes the way we think today. The book does a solid job of breaking down major thinkers like Immanuel Kant—especially his famous call to “dare to know” and think independently. It also covers Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s powerful ideas about freedom, equality, and the “social contract,” showing how his work laid the groundwork for modern democracy and even challenged some of the Enlightenment's own assumptions.

The narration by Steven Gillen is smooth, professional, and easy to stay engaged with. Whether you're new to the topic or just want a thoughtful refresher, this audiobook is both accessible and packed with insight. Highly recommend for anyone curious about the roots of modern thought.
