Did we as human build off the age of Enlightenment or regress away from it while watching TV?

The values of the Enlightenment have never been uncontested, but in the postmodern era they are being seriously challenged by alternative world-views, which either question the Euro-centric Enlightenment definition of 'reason,' or reject it entirely as the arbiter of appropriate action. I don't think this is altogether a bad thing, even if the rise of Glenn Beck and Pop Idol make it clear that Baudrillard has bastards just as Voltaire does.
