This article points out that despite the Enlightenment's attempts to rid the world of evil through the 'study of Mankind,' as Alexander Pope put it, moral evil has still arrived at 'the banquet of human advancement' as an 'uninvited guest.' In its attempt to explain man fully to himself, the author argues, the enlightenment project has failed.
