Article Abstract:

Nicholas Garnham argues through his book 'Emancipation, the Media and Modernity', that coercive inequality and avoidable ignorance continues to exist sufficiently in the world. He believes that the Enlightenment conflict between ancients and moderns, between anti-rationalists and rationalists, is still there but with the positions of the parties reversed.
