Preface -- Chapter 1. Learning about the Universe and Learning how to Create an Enlightened World -- Chapter 2. The Enlightenment and the Romantic Opposition -- Chapter 3. The New Enlightenment -- Chapter 4. The New Enlightenment and Academic Inquiry -- Chapter 5. From Knowledge to Wisdom -- Chapter 6. Current Domination of Knowledge-Inquiry -- Chapter 7. How Would Wisdom-Inquiry Help? -- Chapter 8. Questions and Objections -- Chapter 9 Summary and Conclusion.

This book describes two great problems of learning that confront humanity: learning about the nature of the universe and about ourselves and other living things as a part of it, and learning how to become civilized. The author proposes that with the creation of modern science in the 17th century, the first problem was essentially solved. However, the Enlightenment of the 18th century blundered, and this defective version, inherited from the past, is still built into academia. The book describes a new Enlightenment, in which the current dominance of Knowledge-Inquiry progresses toward what the author terms Wisdom-Inquiry. The book discusses how wisdom-inquiry would help, and addresses questions and objections engendered by the new Enlightenment. This approach, argues the author, would allow us to succeed where the Enlightenment failed: to learn from scientific progress how to make social progress towards the best possible world. Science and Enlightenment: Two Great Problems of Learning will interest a broad audience, ranging from academics, university students and teachers; journalists, politicians and general readers concerned about global problems and the fate of the world.
