          the thing is, if we believe that Enlightenment ideals are universal (that is how Enlightenment philo saw it)...

          What do you mean? They're not. Much of the world has never embraced it. They just include universalism.

          I disagree!!! Anti-colonialists were driven by Enlightenment ideals! Kenan writes about that all the time!

          Elightenment philosophers consider their ideals to be universal

          They apply them universally. They don't believe everyone holds them

          Well, yes. How does anything I've said seem to deny that? I'm looking at postmodernists & their views & influences.

          then it is contradictory to say that it is Western.

          I don't know what you mean. It was born in the west & got most cultural power here. WEIRD societies.

          yes, of course it is more established here. I am way of constructing the West as monolith.. I don't want to deconstruct the West

          You article is very subtle and nuanced! No problem there! But there is a specific reason why I make this critique...

          it was born in the West, but it does not make it Western if we historicize the West.

          you're right. But Kenan would probably make the same point I am making.
