On Enlightenment ReviewDo you know anyone who has any complaint about the Enlightenment?
It's a great pleasure to introduce you to David Stove, one of the best thinkers and writers of the 20th century. Stove is incredibly good at tracing underground thoughts, as he shows in his essay, "The Diabolical Place: A Secret of the Enlightenment." What was that "diabolical place?" Well, it was nothing more than contraception --- birth control, something which is hardly shocking in modern times. But back in the 19th century, it was unmentionable.
The fascinating thing is that birth control suddenly became mentionable when another idea swept the world, the very unfashionable idea of eugenics. Well, eugenics is unfashionable now, but it was the cat's pajamas in the very early twentieth century, before Hitler and his gang made it almost unmentionable.
I enjoyed every essay in this book, and learned a great deal from it. Sometimes Stove's "diabolical" wit left me breathless; as one example, he used the tired phrase "the wretched of the earth" and then explained that it referred to "white, middle-class women in the developed world." This is just part of his explanation of feminism as a disease of the rich and molly-coddled, which makes women feel even more put-upon even as they thoughtlessly trash the male sex.
Highly recommended reading, especially for wannabe curmudgeons! :-)On Enlightenment Overview
