New Radical Enlightenment, 2017
By Marina Garcés
This book argues the case for radical enlightenment and an aggressive fight-back against the oppressive dogmas of our age. A new social contract. The work is structured in three parts, preceded by a preamble: posthumous condition, illustrated radicalism and Humanities in transition. The first focuses on the unsustainable nature of the contemporary world, on the analysis of what there is after Modernity and Postmodernity and on what the author calls “the catastrophe of time”. The second part presents the concepts of “cultural servitude”, “enlightened illiteracy”, “neutralization of criticism” and “delegated intelligence”. In the third and last, she presents five hypotheses about the status of the Humanities.
