This book arose out of a conference organized by the editors, Thinking the Human in the Era of Enlightenment, that took place at the Australian National University in July 2010. This conference was hosted and generously supported by the Humanities Research Centre (HRC) in the Research School of the Humanities, with additional financial support from the former School of Social Sciences in the Faculty of Arts, and in-kind support from the Australian Centre for Indigenous History in the Research School of Social Sciences. We are indebted to Debjani Ganguly, director of the HRC, for embracing our conference idea, and Leena Messina for her invaluable assistance in organizing the event. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the ANU School of History and the School of Cultural Inquiry where we are based.

We must also thank all of the participants of the conference for the stimulating and congenial conversations that took place over the two days. As editors of this volume, we are particularly indebted to the conference participants who contributed to this volume Vanessa Agnew, Peter Cryle, John Docker, Kate Fullagar, Jonathan Lamb, Henry Martyn Lloyd, Jon Mee, Nicole Starbuck, and Hsu-Ming Teo as well as Mary Spongberg who joined the project at a later date. Thank you all for producing a diverse and interdisciplinary array of thoughtful, innovative and engaging chapters exploring the various ways in which Enlightenment thinkers engaged with and were challenged by representations of humanity.

We would also like to thank the Pickering & Chatto Enlightenment World series editors for their interest in our project, with a particular thank you to Mark Pollard for his assistance with the collection. We must also thank the institutions which allowed us to reproduce images from their collections: the Berlin State Library, the Gilcrease Museum, the National Library of Australia and the Yale University Art Gallery.
