The paper proposes to question the validity of the categorization of intellectual history into Enlightenment and counter-Enlightenment and to suggest that to identify the Enlightenment exclusively with scientific reductionism and metaphysical monism has negative normative consequences on the discourse of ethics. By looking at the thought of two thinkers, Vico and Hegel, the argument attempts to show that there is a possibility for an alternative social ethics consistent with many tenets of the Enlightenment that should not be excluded from rational discourse simply because it does not adhere to particular methodologies and metaphysics.
