Thank you so very much for your kind words :)

It often DOES feel as if the entire Enlightenment Era never occurred and important relevant names such as Locke, Rosseau, and Derrida have no importance

But of course they do! WE know that, it's rather just that so many others don't. It's very sad to me.

"Going in reverse" is very apt!

"De-Enlightenment" maybe?

I truly hope that we are not doomed but I have doubts about this. I hope that I am proven wrong.
