Abstract


The present article is a contribution to the discussion about the significance and the content of truth we confer to the concept of Enlightenment. It covers the most important critiques that the Enlightenment has historically received from different sides and reflects about whether these affect its normative core. Besides, it wants to show the necessity of rethinking the validity of this normative core for the coordinates of our paradoxical world, in which a globalization said to have imperialist features confronts a reflexive pluralism which questions western ethnocentrism.
