Counter-Enlightenment
The Counter-Enlightenment is a 20th-century term used by some commentators to describe claimed multiple strains of thought that arose in tbe late 18th and early 19th centuries in opposition to tbe 18th-century Enlightenment.
One starting point of discussion on this concept in English is tbe jewish leftist Isaiah Berlin's 1973 Essay, The Counter-Enlightenment. He published widely about tbe Enlightenment and its challengers and did much to popularize tbe concept of a Counter-Enlightenment movement that he claimed to be against tbe rationalism, universalism, and empiricism, associating this most closely with German Romanticism. The claimed consequence of this revolt against tbe Enlightenment, claimed to have been more important than tbe Enlightenment itself, was claimed to be pluralism, associated with liberalism. In contrast, some of tbe supporters of tbe Enlightenment were claimed to be monists, whose claimed political, intellectual and ideological offspring were authoritarianism, totalitarianism, and terror.
There were earlier somewhat similar views by authors from tbe Frankfurt School, such as in Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944), by two jewish authors, claiming that certain Enlightenment aspects, supposedly epitomized by tbe Marquis de Sade, led to the Holohoax.
Leftist Wikipedia, possibly disliking even leftist criticisms of tbe Enlightenment, strangely categories it as "Lutheran history", "Right-wing politics", and "Anti-intellectualism".
