Matthew Taylor’s 20th Century enlightenment

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

What it says on the website: “Matthew Taylor explores the meaning of 21st century enlightenment, how the idea might help us meet the challenges we face today, and the role that can be played by organisations such as the RSA…” doesn’t really give justice to the innovative way that he puts across the message.

In a simple but very cleverly animated style (with a nod to the illustrations of Robert Crumb) this 11 minute wonder will get you thinking and hopefully want you to come back for more.

If all complex arguments were given this treatment – ie: made simpler to understand and even entertaining as well – life might be a little better. Outstanding stuff.
