Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories:

Johnson Kent Wright (School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership, Arizona State University) addresses one of the most contentious questions of our time: Are we heirs of the Enlightenment, or are we in a post-Enlightenment period? What can we learn from other appropriations of the ideas and agendas of the eighteenth-century movement that produced such defining institutions as the rules of modern science, the constitutions of modern democratic republics, the theory of a market economy? The event is co-sponsored by the Political Economy Project and the History Department.
