Moonrise of Intelligence as moral epic on Reason
An extended dramatic allegory argues that Error rules Benares while Reason and Righteousness are banished. It traces a 2000 year struggle between truth and superstition, praising reformers and democracy, laments oppression by power and vested interests, and foresees a future union of knowledge and righteousness leading to justice. It weaves in commentary on prohibition era Seattle and broader social reform.
