in his worldview

Learning how to read was essential in order to acquire knowledge

you don need much bookish knowledge to work in a Ford T factory

It's okay to have ideological positions yano

Especially at a time where books represented the gateway to financial success for the average middle class individual

I'm talking abotu the poor

not the middle class

The westerner needs to have da science behind him

The poor were transformed into middle class citizens by mass industrialization

I think you're reading WAY more then you should into my statements...

Which also brought higher literacy rates

as a side note: the idea that the Enlightenment was somehow a movement intent on '"freeing" the oppressed underclass is revisionist history

It was about rationalizing state affairs

That would be absolutely idiotic.

which promoted the concentration of power
