“What forms might Enlightenment take now? The basic premise of The Re:Enlightenment Project is straightforward. The Enlightenment of the eighteenth century—the revolution in tools, methods, and institutions that recast inquiry and enterprise in the West—still shapes the ways in which knowledge is produced and disseminated today. It was from the Enlightenment that we have inherited our modern universities and schools, libraries and galleries, learned societies, journals, academic structures, and procedures. Over two centuries later, however, gradual and sudden changes in technology, finance, and society have put that inheritance and its heirs under pressure—pressure not only to understand those changes but to participate actively in shaping them. The institutions and individuals of The Re:Enlightenment Project have joined together to pursue a historic opportunity: the transformation of our Enlightenment inheritance.
