Some thoughts: one issue is that "Enlightenment values" often refers to modern myths of the Enlightenment outlook.

Does "Enlightenment values" = democracy/anti-authoritarianism? Yet many Enlightenment philosophers favored "enlightened despotism."

Yeah, I wouldn't say democracy is necessarily an Enlightenment value. But empiricism is.
