The enlightenment had some good ideas and should not be considered a complete failure.
Not a lib take, it is a 100% marxist take.
I feel the attribution of moral value is a bit far - a historical materialist view of slavery or capitalism would see it as a step in the path to communism but you wouldn't say those were 'good'.
OK fair. But also marxism does consider itself something that hails from the enlightenment and rational inquire.
