Age of Enlightenment

A cultural and intellectual movement of the late 17th to 19th century, the Age of Enlightenment was characterized by emphasis on reason, science, and individualism. Scholars and philosophers across Europe, such as Voltaire and Kant, contributed to its development, challenging traditional doctrines and dogmas. It laid the groundwork for many democratic principles and influenced revolutions, including the French and American ones.
