Description
The Age of Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, also called the Age of Reason, was named for an intellectual movement that shook the foundations of Western civilization. Philosophers of this era who championed radical ideas such as individual liberty and rational inquiry into the universe around them planted seeds for modern liberalism, cultural humanism, science and technology, and laissez-faire capitalism.
