In terms of Enlightenment values, it is difficult to accept universalism and value for all the societies. There are local and tight values represented by traditions and when they come in conflict, universalism is abandoned, or there is what we call the localization of universalism. In Europe and in the United States, are accustomed to believe that the value system is not restricted to a certain region of the globe but applies globally and everywhere in the world, the moral universe of the West is characterized by a global ambition. This global ambition nevertheless, it would be more appropriate to use the plural instead of the singular, to speak not of one Enlightenment which is dedicated for the Western cultures, but of different Enlightenment.
