Sure, but the problem with problematization is that you can do it to literally anyone’s position - so will be tempted to do it to those you differ with while giving friends a pass. There is “what about”-worthy, second thoughts-causing context to every era, event, figure, idea.

If I weren’t on vacation I would have written this up as a tweetstorm or column, but the most formidable Enlightenment legacy is the culture of critique from which flowed criticism of the Enlightenment from within itself (eg, Rousseau, Herder).

Agree. And to that extent critics of Enlightenment (including post-modern left & reactionary right) are working within its tradition more than those who make plaster saints of Locke & Kant.
