Critiques of Enlightenment and Morality

This chapter critiques the Enlightenment by examining its historical roots and the interplay between reason and Judeo-Christian values. It discusses the philosophical tensions between Enlightenment ideals and anti-Enlightenment ideologies, particularly through a Nietzschean lens. Additionally, it explores the nuances of altruism, objectivism, and the significance of long-term values in moral decision-making, drawing insights from 'Atlas Shrugged' to illustrate complex themes in personal relationships.
