| Abstract | According to some judgments, the image of Sicily in the 18th century was that of an isolated land. On the contrary, the Enlightenment reached it, even if late. The development was especially at cultural level. The Sicilian intellectuals were more than a few and though they read many French and English philosophers (such as Rousseau, Voltaire, Locke, Hume, Diderot, Montesquieu, Condillac, Helvétius, Condorcet, and so on) and though they elaborated the new European ideas in their own way, some contradictions arised so that, in spite of a few opennesses, Sicily still remained a feudal isle. |
