Talk:The Modern Project

Need for this page

"The modern project" is a phrase often used in scholarly discourse, but it is difficult to find information about it on the web. The initial version here is but a start. There are plenty of links in the article that can be used to find information to expand it (not to mention the many printed works that use it). It could also use some more suggestions for further reading. JKeck (talk) 13:09, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

The word project indicates that all of the personages, particularly those cited as its initiators - were consciously collaborating and working to achieve the specific goal of uprooting "Western culture from its traditional moorings" towards modernity. Based on the existing content, however, it appears that such a project was only identified by Heidegger and has since been used in contemporary discourse. I think that the works of the so-called initiators were independent of each other unless evidence is presented otherwise. In this case, this is nothing more than an amalgamation of disparate initiatives as history progressed toward modernity. Darwin Naz (talk) 05:23, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
