it's kinda like with bands, who gave a shit about slint before mogwai, tortoise, tristeza, gybe, etc. appeared?
the enlightment wasn't total, far from that, but it was a little door that led to something else. it really gets misunderstood and blown out of proportions and for all it's contributions, it ended up being a fad. the results and consequences of the enlightment happened in small aspects, where the impact was felt the most. sure it's bad that we can't really know never what would happened if a real, total enlightment happened; people weren't ready to absorb all, they took what they could and went from there.
the human race and civilization were very, very different back then.
and exactly what you said. "what works indeed"!!!
