Abstract

AbstractEnlightenment means the conjunction of reason and autonomy, but also an attitude of comitment in the defense of justice. Nowadays we are living in a time that can be described like a crisis of civilization and it is urgent to recover and adapt some of the anthropological, cognitive, ethical and political keys of the Enlightenment in order to palliate it. Specially, it is necessary to face to these kinds of problems: the preservation of the ecological life conditions and the search of truth, what involve the climate change and the manipulation of emotions by capitalism and populism.Keywords: enlightenment, crisis, reason, emotion, history.
