Enlightenment and Subjectivity Part I

from CultureCast Hosted by Daniel Dal Monte

In this episode, I show the dual conceptions of humanity produced in the Enlightenment. On the one hand, the Enlightenment shows a new pride in which humanity claims to know the world through unaided reason. On the other, humanity is swallowed up in the deterministic and mechanistic universe established in Newtonian science. Immanuel Kant enters, trying to reconcile the Newtonian science with the religious image of humanity.
