Yeah, I was hoping this would turn into a nice sounding board for people to induldge in pseudo-intellectual wankering, as I often do.
I voted for #3. But I lean heavily towards #2. What made me think of this was reading a book called After Virtue by Alasdair C. MacIntyre. I grabbed it on the way to take a shit a little while ago and was skimming through it. I read it a few years ago in a philosophy class. MacIntyre is one of those that thinks the Enlightenment was a disaster. Interesting reading though.
