Enlightenment means "to shine a light on." During the Enlightenment, the scientific method was applied to theology, history, morality, and politics. The Enlightenment was a time when people were optimistic about their ability to improve their lives. The Enlightenment spread from England to France, then throughout Europe and then to the Americas. Many ideas came to be in the Age of Enlightenment, which lasted in the 18th century. Many people started to look at science, philosophy, economics, etc. In this period the discovery of gravity was described by Sir Isaac Newton. Also the discovery that the Earth moves around the Sun was found, which went against the Church. Many other discoveries were made in The Age of Enlightenment.
The Enlightenment was a widely-felt change about ideas of reason and natural understanding, felt all across Europe, around the times between 1670 and 1750. The Enlightenment brought the idea of "common sense" and reason into normal social practice, and led to things such as a decline in trials for witchcraft, due to a majority of people beginning to accept the roles of natural law in human lives.
The Renaissance, Reformation, and Scientific Revolution affected the Enlightenment by these different groups having mixed ideas and the refusal of the Catholic Church to release its dominance and positional authority over the people. The Enlightenment thinkers became persecuted, thrown in jail, and their writings were burned. Religious wars broke out between the Catholics and Protestants, which gave the impression to some individuals that organized religion was fallible, creating a window of opportunity to push the philosophies of science into European life. After the revolt against the churches lead to a more punitive approach, thousands of people (majority women) lost their lives over the fact of being caught in exploring science, which was acclaimed witchcraft amongst the churches. "The Enlightenment was more a frame of mind than a coherent movement". " Individuals who embraced it drew inspiration from different sources and promoted different agendas"."Its proponents were clearer about what they disliked than what changes were necessary". "Although many circumstances shaped "enlightenment" thinking, the new scientific methods and discoveries provided the clearest model for changing European Society". The Enlightenment was only an intellectual concept to achieve change in an aspect of critical thinking.
