Enlightenment 2.0

Book • 2014
In 'Enlightenment 2.

0', Joseph Heath argues that the current political landscape is increasingly divided between rational and irrational discourse.

He proposes a new approach called 'slow politics', which emphasizes slow thought, deliberation, and debate to counteract the rapid-fire pace of modern politics.

Heath draws on psychological and philosophical research to advocate for collective action against social conditions that hinder rational thought.
