Our Renaissance Enlightenment

Salvete Omnes
I had come across two things while waiting for the Forum to revive and thought that they might be interesting to the Colleium Philosophicum.
The first is a YouTube video from the Paideia Media by Christophe Rico on the Sixth Renaissance (the one we're in now). He establishes criteria for 'Renaissance Movements' as:
New access to sources
1. Either continuity or break away from the immediate past.
2. Link with a technological innovation.
3. Renewal of ancient languages knowledge.
4. Concept of Classical author.
He lays out each of the previous five and how they match his criteria and how what is now begun in the present century as the Sixth Renaissance (with the technological innonovation of the Digital Revolution).
The second is a book (through the magic of the internet because the authors name was similar, Pinker vs. Finkel, to one* for which I was looking) Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress Hardcover – February 13, 2018 by Steven Pinker. (Lupe, you may want to open your collar a bit before looking.)

* From a Latin blog I follow occasionally is 'Deus in crapulum' . In this he mentions the book The Writing in the Stone by Irving Finkel & illustrated by Angharad Morgaine Crossley - Assyria some 3000 years ago, cuneiform https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Stone-Ir ... 191148706X
