Enlightenment, they argue, needs to be engaged within the newly broad sense of mediation introduced here--not only oral, visual, written, and printed media, but everything that intervenes, enables, supplements, or is simply in between. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith essays addressing infrastructure and genres, associational practices and protocols, this volume establishes mediation as the condition of possibility for enlightenment. In so doing, it not only answers Kant's query; it also poses its own broader question: how would foregrounding mediation change the kinds and areas of inquiry in our own epoch? \u003ci\u003eThis Is Enlightenment \u003c\/i\u003eis a landmark volume\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ewith the polemical force and archival depth to start a conversation that extends across the disciplines that the Enlightenment itself first configured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47606450520215,"sku":"9780226761480","price":4411.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226761480.webp?v=1775040315","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/this-is-enlightenment-9780226761480","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
