The Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, was an intellectual and cultural movement in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries that profoundly influenced political, social, and philosophical thought. It emphasized reason, individualism, scientific inquiry, and skepticism of traditional authority.

Its impact is evident in the political revolutions of the time, especially the French and American Revolutions, and it laid the intellectual foundations for modern Western society. One of the central ideas of the Enlightenment was the primacy of reason. Enlightenment thinkers believed that human beings, through rational thought, could understand the universe and improve their lives. They rejected the notion that divine revelation or religious dogma should be the primary source of truth. Reason was seen as the vehicle for progress, liberating humanity from ignorance, superstition, and tyranny. This emphasis on rationality contributed to advancements in science, political theory, and economics, and inspired new educational systems and reforms. The idea of individual liberty was another cornerstone of Enlightenment thought. Thinkers such as John Locke argued that all individuals are born with certain natural rights, including life, liberty, and property.
