      BAP tossing and turning in bed in recent nights, sweating, mumbling “no... no... enlightenment... dork shit... Nooo” as Hume torments him in his nightmares.

      if you have to pick an era for inspiration/obsession pick something sexy like antiquity. Nobody sits in bed at night thinking about Hume etc. one way or another. This is an affectation picked up to appeal to academics and some media

      Battle of the books, ancients vs moderns, its all happening again. Neo-classical bap, pining for integration of antiquity, the superior holistic man, bap reading Winckelmann, a closet enlightener? Spooky if true

      Its not about ‘picking an era’ this is stupid idea, not how you go about things. One must learn all of history, and enlightement should be studied not as arbitrary affectation, but to understand how modernity was created and what its flaws/errors are

      also there in an inner drive in philosophy: to study Enlightenment takes you back to Bacon and Descartes, to Machiavelli and Erasmus, to Polybius and Seneca

          All knowledge is connected, even BAP’s views here on antiquity inescapably shaped by enlightenment.

          unmediated view of antiquity is hard just reading bare text with no study of meaning (of words, of puzzles, of logic) means kwa kid will spatter ancients with zogpoison from his own brain but if you study meaning, who is your teacher?

          Even post-modernism really begins in struggle with the interpretative and philological challenges of getting at authentic core of antique texts. Getting at the ‘real antiquity’ is noble aim, but much easier said than done.

          Hard to know what it means to engage with antiquity apart from Montesquieu or Gibbon. The very idea of history itself is modern creation of enlightenment that affects and orients our perspective whether we admit it or like it

          There are two complementary threads: one is how to read and understand the texts, the other is their ultimate meaning and relevance

          To some extent you can read and evaluate using 20th c scholarship, ignore Enlightenment (but Voltaire, etc still very important for stupid views - like most ancient texts spurious or medieval fakes - and as source of still-popular misconceptions)

          but advantages of Enl interp of ancients is, where material is handled well, it is beautifully written and made very engaging more ppl have gotten gist of Livy, Plutarch from Rousseau than recent critical historians of Rome

          Antiquity is the deep well to which our civilization has returned time after time to rejuvenate itself when ideas became stale or there was great danger. Over-focus on Enlightenment or 20th C or a few decades in 13th C or whatever is a dork obsession, has musty smell

          Agreed on overfocus, being an “expert” on rawls or arendt is as sad as “african philosophy”

          Not even possible to be ‘expert’ in enlightenment without developing love and expertise of antiquity. No way to understand Hume without Cicero or Rousseau without Plutarch or German Idealism without Plotinus. Eternalness of antiquity is AFFIRMED by Enlightenment, not challenged
