The answer is subjective. What one man deems enlightenment, another deems as folly. This conversation is a circle jerk from the word go.

The word and it's connotations have been used by many historians. The manner in which it is commonly used is what I am referring to. Has our ways if thinking about ourselves made us better human beings?
