Something that modernity has facilitated extraordinarily is the possibility for anyone, through merit and effort alone, to advance and ascend. It is a privilege to note that someone who seriously undertakes a study and achieves prominence in the area to which he dedicates now has a multitude of means to disseminate the knowledge he has gained and, what’s more, to make a living from its dissemination. In other words, in an environment with virtually no limitations, scholars can dedicate themselves to what they are interested in without depending on sponsors. In this respect, there is no denying the beneficial and ostensible emancipatory effect of modernity.
