Description
Enlightenment 2.0 by Joseph Heath is a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges facing modern politics. The author argues that the current social and media environment has made it difficult for rational thought to prevail, and that a new approach is needed to restore sanity and promote collective action. Heath outlines a program for a second Enlightenment, based on recent psychological and philosophical research that identifies the social and environmental preconditions for rational thought. This approach, which he terms "slow politics," emphasizes the importance of slow thought, slow deliberation, and slow debate in promoting a more rational and informed public discourse. By engaging with the social conditions that have crowded out rational thought, Heath believes that it is possible to restore sanity and promote a more thoughtful and considered approach to politics.
