The Enlightenment of Max

The Enlightenment made explicit what had long been implicit in the intellectual life of Europe: the belief that rational inquiry leads to objective truth. Even those Enlightenment thinkers who distrusted reason…never relinquished their confidence in rational argument…For the ensuing 200 years, reason retained its position as the arbiter of truth and the foundation of objective knowledge…But reason is now on the retreat, both as an ideal and as a reality. - Roger Scruton, 1999

The High Price of American Gullibility

An article by Paul Craig Roberts from www.lewrockwell.com


This excellent essay expresses a lot of the same ideas that I have expressed on this blog with the added bonus of some facts I had not previously come across. Rather than summarise it for you, here is the link. It is an enlightening read.
