Redeeming the Enlightenment

"In this probing book [author] reexamines four of the moral imperatives or "liberal virtues" associated with the Enlightenment -- equality, authenticity, tolerance, and compassion -- and argues that they are, in fact, based on Christian moral ideals. In the currect debate surrounding post-Enlightenment secular humanism, [author] contends that we should seek not to reject or reclaim the Englightenment but to redeem it." --Back cover.
