The Need for a New Enlightenment

Abstract

The title The Need for a New Enlightenment, enunciates the basic claim of Dimitrios Oikonomou essay, in which he explores the following questions: “how we are supposed to collectively and individually react to an uncertain future accompanied by the promise of a looming catastrophe? Are we allowed to espouse a sceptical optimism or are we doomed to keep going through the desperation routine?”
