THE BRIDGE OF CRITIQUE
A playful confrontation between a merciless critic of the Enlightenment, a proponent of it, and a devil's advocate, who is none other than Lucian, who always considered dialogue the child of philosophy and the enemy of rhetoric.
A book that highlights the current role of the Enlightenment in a world that is sinking into superstition, credulity, and intolerance.
“I wrote these dialogues to serve two interconnected goals: to demonstrate the enduring vitality of the Enlightenment and to hinder some stubbornly mistaken readings of it. These goals are of course inseparable: only if we know what the Enlightenment was can we adequately understand what it can offer us today.” —Peter Gay
