The Enlightenment was a cultural and intellectual movement in the 17th and 18th centuries that emphasized reason, individual liberty, and empirical evidence. This era challenged traditional sources of authority—such as monarchy and religion—and reshaped how people understood politics, society, and human rights. As Enlightenment ideas spread across the Atlantic, they laid the ideological foundation for political revolutions, reform movements, and growing demands for liberty and equality. | |||
