| | Age of Enlightenment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Age of Enlightenment refers to the 18th century in European philosophy, and is often thought of as part of a 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. | | | If the previous era was the age of reasoning from first principles, Enlightenment thinkers saw themselves as looking into the mind of God by studying creation and deducing the basic truths of the world. |
