Absolutely nothing, but I think it's quite degrading for a Pope to be less important than a homosexual sadomasochist.

The Enlightenment's appropriation of rationalism came to be a study of man which ultimately decides rather than defines what is "man," and does so in a pragmatic fashion rather than a scholarly or scientific one.

Both of these together, really. He worked more like a historian than a philosopher, which was also a fascinating technique. In tying these two things together, he constructed a series of conclusions to support the idea of a knowledge-power relationship that poses them as inextricable and simultaneous, not causing or effecting the other. In some ways this idea mimics Kuhn's concept of the paradigm in science, but does so within the context of man's study of himself. A very, very interesting thinker.

you just show how attached you are to your own culture. the point is not about discovering new things, but about being able to see the same things in a different way.
