[FRA:] Enlightenment under attack

[James Rovira]

It's good to hear from Catherine Liu -- I believe this is a new voice on
this list?

In response to this:

<<"Narcissistic" psychologizes what is fully saturated by the political:
neo-pragmatism and cultural studies alike in their
rejection of universal values offers the rationalization for new forms of
domination: centered on responding to "individual"
particularities, its form of anti-Enlightenment is merely an 'updated'
enlightenment>>

Isn't in possible to critique enlightenment thought by appealing to a
different set of universal values?  Or to other universal values in addition
to those promulgated by enlightenment thought?

I don't see the link between "new forms of domination" and "centered on
responding to 'individual' particularities."
