Postmodernity requires a \"modernity\" to be repudiated and superseded, and the tenets of this modernity have invariably been identified with the so-called Enlightenment Project. This volume aims to explore critically the now conventional opposition between Enlightenment and Postmodernity and question some of the conclusions drawn from it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn so doing, the authors focus on three general areas. Part I, \"Enlightenment or Postmodernity?\", reflects on the way in which contemporary discussion characterizes the two movements as radical alternatives. Part II, \"Critical Confrontations,\" provides a kind of archaeology of this opposition by charting a series of critical engagements by those who have affirmed or demeaned Enlightenment values in the twentieth century. Part III, \"A Postmodern Enlightenment?\", complicates the perceived dichotomy between Enlightenment and Postmodernity by pointing to the existence within the Enlightenment of elements frequently seen as characteristic of Postmodernity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contributors are Lorraine Daston, Dena Goodman, David Hollinger, Lawrence E. Klein, Jonathan Knudsen, Michael Meranze, Richard Rorty, Hans Sluga, and Johnson Kent Wright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"What's Left of Enlightenment?: A Postmodern Question | Keith M Baker | Paperback | 9780804740265 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1747765","offer_id":48855859560600,"sku":"1747765","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61Wd4lqdQNL.jpg?v=1775566952","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/whats-left-of-enlightenment-a-postmodern-question","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
