In what respects do the two worlds differ, and why are they so different? To what extent is and isnt our world the world they wanted, and to what extent do we today still want their world? Unlike previous philosophical critiques and defenses of the Enlightenment, the present study focuses extensively on the relevant historical and empirical record first, by examining carefully what kind of future Enlightenment intellectuals actually hoped for- second, by tracking the different legacies of their central ideals over the past two centuries.
