| | Age of Enlightenment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Enlightenment began then, from the belief in a rational, orderly and comprehensible universe—then proceeded, in stages, to form a rational and orderly organization of knowledge and the state, such as what is found in the idea of Deism. | | | The Age of Enlightenment refers to the 18th century in European philosophy, and is often thought of as part of a larger period which includes the Age of Reason. | | | In their book The Dialectic of Enlightenment, Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno wrote a penetrating critique of what they perceived as the contradictions of Enlightenment thought: Enlightenment was seen as being at once liberatory and, through the domination of instrumental rationality tending towards totalitarianism. |

| | The Age of the Enlightenment |
| | It was the Enlightenment, not the Reformation or the Renaissance that dislodged the ecclesiastical establishment from central control of cultural and intellectual life. | | | The enlightenment spiritualized the principle of religious authority, humanized theological systems, and emancipated individuals from physical coercion. | | | The central theme of the Enlightenment is the effort to humanize religion. |

| | EducationGuardian.co.uk Books The Enlightenment by Roy Porter |
| | For Kant, Enlightenment was mankind's final coming of age, the emancipation of the human consciousness from an immature state of ignorance and error. | | | As Gay has emphasized, the exponents of Enlightenment were neither rationalists, believing that reason was all, nor irrationalists, surrendering their judgement before feeling, faith, intuition and authority. | | | Reason alone (Enlighteners were believed to believe) would afford a total knowledge of man, society, Nature and the cosmos; would enable them to mount a critique of the political and religious status quo; and, above all, would provide the foundations for a utopian future. |

| | Kant's "What Is Enlightenment" |
| | In this regard, this age is the age of enlightenment, the century of Frederick. | | | For that the (spiritual) guardians of a people should themselves be immature is an absurdity that would insure the perpetuation of absurdities. | | | For even among the entrenched guardians of the great masses a few will always think for themselves, a few who, after having themselves thrown off the yoke of immaturity, will spread the spirit of a rational appreciation for both their own worth and for each person's calling to think for himself. |

| | This is the background of the 18th-century Enlightenment. | | | The God who underwrites the concept of equality in the Declaration of Independence is the same deist God Rousseau worshipped, not that venerated in the traditional churches which still supported and defended monarchies all over Europe. | | | Religious thinkers repeatedly proclaim the Enlightenment dead, Marxists denounce it for promoting the ideals and power of the bourgeoisie at the expense of the working classes, postcolonial critics reject its idealization of specifically European notions as universal truths, and postructuralists reject its entire concept of rational thought. |
