Garrard's book <i>Counter-Enlightenments</i> (2006) broadens the term even further, arguing against Berlin that there was no single "movement" called "The Counter-Enlightenment". Rather, there have been many Counter-Enlightenments, from the middle of the 18th century to the 20th century among critical theorists, postmodernists and feminists. The Enlightenment has opponents on all points of its ideological compass, from the far left to the far right, and all points in between.

It questioned some key assumptions and implications of the <i><a href="/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment" title="Age of Enlightenment">Aufklärung</a></i> and the term "<a href="/wiki/Romanticism" title="Romanticism">Romanticism</a>" was first coined. Many early Romantic writers such as <a href="/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois-Ren%C3%A9_de_Chateaubriand" title="François-René de Chateaubriand">Chateaubriand</a>, <a href="/wiki/Novalis" title="Novalis">Friedrich von Hardenberg</a> (Novalis) and <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge" title="Samuel Taylor Coleridge">Samuel Taylor Coleridge</a> inherited the Counter-Revolutionary antipathy towards the <i>philosophes</i>. All three directly blamed the <i>philosophes</i> in France and the <i><a href="/wiki/Aufkl%C3%A4rer" class="mw-redirect" title="Aufklärer">Aufklärer</a></i> in Germany for devaluing beauty, spirit and history in favour of a view of man as a soulless machine and a view of the universe as a meaningless, disenchanted void lacking richness and beauty. One particular concern to early Romantic writers was the allegedly anti-religious nature of the Enlightenment since the <i>philosophes</i> and <i>Aufklärer</i> were generally <a href="/wiki/Deism" title="Deism">deists</a>, opposed to <a href="/wiki/Revealed_religion" class="mw-redirect" title="Revealed religion">revealed religion</a>. Some historians, such as <a href="/wiki/Johann_Georg_Hamann" title="Johann Georg Hamann">Hamann</a>, nevertheless contend that this view of the Enlightenment as an age hostile to religion is common ground between these Romantic writers and many of their conservative Counter-Revolutionary predecessors. However, not many have commented on the Enlightenment, except for Chateaubriand, Novalis, and Coleridge, since the term itself did not exist at the time and most of their contemporaries ignored it.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Goya_-_Caprichos_(43)_-_Sleep_of_Reason.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Goya_-_Caprichos_%2843%29_-_Sleep_of_Reason.jpg/220px-Goya_-_Caprichos_%2843%29_-_Sleep_of_Reason.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="322" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Goya_-_Caprichos_%2843%29_-_Sleep_of_Reason.jpg/330px-Goya_-_Caprichos_%2843%29_-_Sleep_of_Reason.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Goya_-_Caprichos_%2843%29_-_Sleep_of_Reason.jpg/440px-Goya_-_Caprichos_%2843%29_-_Sleep_of_Reason.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2960" data-file-height="4327" /></a><figcaption><i><a href="/wiki/The_Sleep_of_Reason_Produces_Monsters" title="The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters">The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters</a></i>, <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 1797</span>, 21.5 cm × 15 cm.

It was not anti-rational, but rather balanced rationality against the competing claims of intuition and the sense of justice. This view is expressed in Goya's <i>Sleep of Reason</i>, in which the nightmarish owl offers the dozing social critic of <i><a href="/wiki/Los_Caprichos" class="mw-redirect" title="Los Caprichos">Los Caprichos</a></i> a piece of drawing chalk.

In this optimistic age of science and industry, there were few critics of the Enlightenment, and few explicit defenders. <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche" title="Friedrich Nietzsche">Friedrich Nietzsche</a> is a notable and highly influential exception. After an initial defence of the Enlightenment in his so-called "middle period" (late 1870s to early 1880s), Nietzsche turned vehemently against it. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Totalitarianism">Totalitarianism</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Counter-Enlightenment&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Totalitarianism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, the Enlightenment re-emerged as a key organizing concept in social and political thought and the history of ideas.
