Abstract
This paper revisits Enlightenment themes as they relate to Higher Education. It reassesses Enlightenment precepts in light of post-modernist and other critiques, and it argues that, whilst some aspects of counter-Enlightenment critiques are well grounded, many core practices of the Enlightenment tradition remain valid. A re-assertion of some of its central commitments is indeed timely, as Universities become increasingly enmeshed in market values and a functional agenda.We make a case for moving away from the narrowly scientific paradigms of one sort of Enlightenment thought towards a more reflexive imaginative approach that values reason, but supports difference.
