The Enlightenment, we are often told today, was a Eurocentric project that imposed European ideas on a reluctant world, with its ideas serving to promote or justify various colonialist projects. This conference seeks to work through and disaggregate some of these assertions. The conference is held in cooperation with the Humboldt Forum.
