Enlightenment Era

The Enlightenment Era, The Century of Lights, The Age of Reason. Those are but a few names people have dubbed the Eighteenth Century, one hundred years that pushed the world into the direction of scientific and social progress. Propelled by philosophers, scientists, explorers and politicians alike, the Enlightenment Era transformed the face of Europe and the Americas, and the mindset of their inhabitants likewise. Originating from the grand humanist ideas of the Renaissance, the principles of Enlightenment shifted man’s attention from the divine to the profane, from the Heavens to the Earth, from faith to science. Whilst earlier eras of history saw - on occasion - matching levels of freedom or progress, the Age of Reason pushed the boundaries of human curiosity, research and exploration much further ahead. The ideas of personal liberty, secular politics and scientific method - those were the concepts that defined the epoch. Concepts that found their greatest achievement in the creation of the United States of America, and their biggest caricature in the self-destructing bloodshed of the French Revolution.
Whilst marked by near-constant war, social upheaval and the crumbling of absolute monarchies of old, the Enlightenment Era paved the way for the Industrial Revolution with its intrepid pursuit of science and the perceived expansion of the human mind. Just as the Industrial Revolution sped the world up, this prior epoch first turned the world around.
