He shows that both Capitalism and Marxism, as well as Modern Science and Technology are creations of the same spirit, he argues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe powerful light of Critical Rationality emitted by the European Enlightenment is like the light of the sun. It is bright and helpful for seeing this world in detail, but too bright to let us see the night sky and the vast expanses of the universe. This \"light too bright\" eclipses the Transcendent. Dr. Gregorios invites us to appropriate the other Enlightenment of the overall-religious-cultural outlook in a new way and to relate it to the valid insights of the European Enlightenment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paulos Mar Gregorios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791411338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791411339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.80w x 0.90d","brand":"Paulos Mar Gregorios","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457718006015,"sku":"9780791411339","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f55091de-0639-45c7-bcf6-f16acea31702.jpg?v=1777400632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-light-too-bright-paulos-mar-gregorios-9780791411339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
