Reply #10: another sense of enlightenment is The Enlightenment [View All]

[nashville_brook]

as in science and progress and relief from the dark ages when all was the struggle bewteen ghosts and good and evil.

mark crispen miller rightly points out in Patriot Act that bushitler and the theo-cons want to take us back to the dark ages -- pre-enlightenment thinking, where the church programs all culture and science.

postmodernists have been saying for a while that the enlightenment and enlightenment thinking is in crisis -- but 10 years ago i thought that was a good thing. that the culture of science was keeping out alternative voices (like Gaia). but now i will take all the postivist thinking in the world before shitler's theocracy!
