To many progressive thinking appears to be in a deadlock. Have we exhausted the critical resources of the Enlightenment? Has our nature finally caught up with our aspirations? Or is the world we have created simply out of hand? This talk will examine recent arguments for the rebooting of the Enlightenment. At issue will be the question of Enlightenment’s blind spots and some resources available to progressive thinking.
