Enlightenment

The Age of Enlightenment was an intellectual and philosophical movement across Europe during the late 17th and 18th centuries. Influenced by philosophers such as Descartes and Locke, the range of ideas of Enlightenment were focused on themes of reason and individualism (as opposed to earlier ideals of tradition). The movement also led to more advanced ideals such as liberty, religious tolerance/separation of the state from the church, constitutional government... etc. Some prominent figures of this movement included Kant, Goethe, Hume, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Adam Smith.
