"Romanticism reflected a crisis in Enlightenment thought itself, a crisis which shook the comfortable 18th century philosophe out of his intellectual single-mindedness. The philosophes were too objective -- they chose to see human nature as something uniform. The philosophe had turned man into a soul"
"There has not been a recent uptick in this phenomenon since at least the Enlightenment era."
"Even the historical period I consider most responsible for the present moment—the Enlightenment—carried with it a promise that 'man' would be elevated to lord of the earth, able to shape both it and himself according to his will. Having supplanted God, imago Dei became imago homo."
"From the Arab Golden Age to Renaissance, the Enlightment and so on. Never give up to coffee"
