>Any thinker who can present Enlightenment values as simple and univocal is going to do a poor job understanding things as they are today. Deny the disagreements of the past, and you're sure to miss the substance of today's disagreements.
I think it would be reasonable to say that there were disagreements within the Enlightenment, but that they were generally smaller than the disagreements between Enlightenment and counter-Enlightenment, for instance, Locke versus Rousseau would be a smaller disagreement than either versus Nietzsche.
