The Myth of Enlightenment - On the Rise and Fall of Reason
The Nathan Jacobs Podcast | with Guest Dr. Chris Firestone
Greetings subscribers! As you know, I’ve been on a writing hiatus due to my work on the upcoming Amazon Studios show, House of David. As of this week, however, I’m officially released (until season 2) to resume work on my forthcoming Leibniz book. So, be watching for those Leibniz posts.
In the meantime, it’s Thursday again, which means it’s time for a new episode of The Nathan Jacobs Podcast!
Today, you’ll hear my conversation with Dr. Chris Firestone, where we deconstruct some all-too-common misconceptions about the Enlightenment. Was the Enlightenment spawned by atheist empiricists on a mission to disprove religion? Were those who preceded this awakening little more than dogmatic simpletons? Find out today on The Nathan Jacobs Podcast.
