Sure, I'd be happy to help you better understand Enlightenment ideas. The Enlightenment was a period in European history that spanned from the late 17th century to the late 18th century. It was characterized by a focus on reason, science, and individualism, and it was marked by a rejection of traditional authority and dogma. Enlightenment thinkers believed that reason and science could be used to improve society and human life, and they advocated for individual rights and freedoms, including freedom of speech, religion, and the press. Some of the key Enlightenment thinkers include John Locke, Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant. Do you have any specific questions about Enlightenment ideas?
