I like the idea of your general proposal, if I understand it correctly, though I am far more a fan of the Renaissance than the Enlightenment.
Personally I would like to see and hope to help promote a New Renaissance in the West, to include all of the fields and disciplines of Art, Science, and Religion.
Though I think that efforts like this (yours), and associated efforts are of great potential value.
Are you of Greek descent?
I personally also happen to be a big fan of the Byzantines (New or Greek Romans) and their various enlightenment and renaissance periods.
I have a personal theory that the United States of America is Byzantium come again, and refined and improved.
Good luck and Godspeed with your efforts. When I have the opportunity I will visit your site, and if I like what I read there, and I suspect I shall, then I’ll add your site to my blogroll.
Happy Easter.
Jack.
Jack,
Thank you for your kind remarks. I, too, am extremely fond of the Renaissance along with the Enlightenment; certainly, the former was necessary for the latter to occur, and we are all indebted to the Renaissance for masterpieces of art, philosophy, and science alike.
I am Russian by origin, but my first name is derived from the Greek “Gennadius,” which happened to be the name of the last Patriarch of the Byzantine Empire.
Happy Easter to you as well.
