Essential Enlightenment: What was the Enlightenment?

Broadly speaking, the Enlightenment was an intellectual and philosophical movement, largely based in Europe, that spanned about a century-from the mid-to-late 1600s to the late 1700s. It was a time of major intellectual upheaval, characterized by the rise of reason and the scientific method as tools for understanding the world and bringing about progress. In fact, many of the radical ideas that came about in the Enlightenment period would ultimately lay the foundation for the liberal democratic institutions that we take for granted today, including: impartial courts and the rule of law, democratically elected governments, separation of church and state, equality for all people, and freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Darkness can pass for light. The Enlightenment was man saying that reason can get on quite well without the Holy Scriptures.
Now look at us. We have gone mad. Read my next book on the subject if you will.

'Broadly speaking, the Enlightenment was an intellectual and philosophical movement, largely based in Europe, that spanned about a century-from the mid-to-late 1600s to the late 1700s.'
Indeed! Known as Enlightenment in England, Aufklärung in Germany, Lumieres in France. It was rooted in the idea that with the natural light, in other words, human reason, in opposition to supranatural light, faith, belief, man can penetrate the realty and perceive and conceive it as it is.
That enlightenment hasn't been enlightenment enough to shape the perception and the conception of the others, millions and millions of other who were treated with a deep contempt, who were dehumanized, humiliated, exploited, ruined as shown here th-cam.com/video/EpHXspmasdQ/w-d-xo.html
That enlightenment hasn't enough enlightened to prevent the shaping of a dynastic bloody tyranny that terrorizes, slaughters, persecutes, ruins, hinders the earthly destiny of millions. The wickedness, greed and madness are very stick to be affected by the light.
