More on Enlightenment fundamentalism

Following the Pascal Bruckner vs Buruma and Garton Ash dispute (see previous posts) J Carter Wood over at his blog Obscene Desserts is very reasoned and convincing on Bruckner's willful misreading of both and overall shrill tone... mean anyone who accuses Garton Ash (he of the cut glass accent, crossed legs and clipped Edward VIIth beard) of displaying too much machismo has got to be a bit twisted, no?
