Historicizing the Enlightenment, Volume 2: Literature, the Arts, and the Aesthetic in Britain McKeon Michael
The Enlightenment has been linked to some of the most powerfully destructive developments of modern life: imperialism, racism, capitalist exploitation, scientific absolutism, totalitarian rule; and behind these developments, the domination of facts over values, quantity over quality, the abstract over the concrete, reason over humanity, division over connection.
