Switzerland and the Netherlands were the most liberal countries at the time so the philosophes/enlightenment thinkers would have their books published there because they risked it being banned or burned if they tried to publish somewhere else. The peak of the Enlightenment was in France, however, because: 1). French was the international language (similar to what English is today) 2). French intellectuals were not persecuted or punished severely 3). French people had the habit of preaching their ideas to the public
The central belief of the Enlightenment was the power of reason and rationality to improve society, challenge traditional authority, and promote individual freedoms. Enlightenment thinkers emphasized the importance of science, empirical observation, and the pursuit of knowledge to advance human progress and social change.

Salons were absolutely crucial in spreading and popularizing the advancements and ideas of the Enlightenment. Wealthy women would sponser these gatherings so great thinkers such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes could spread their political philosophy. Scientists could present their findings and writers could spread their words.
The great thinkers from the Age of Enlightenment were concerned with how people were capable of self government. Self government is not without government and if people are capable of governing themselves, they are certainly capable of forming governments (artifices), to establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense and promote the general Welfare of the self governed. From John Locke, to Adam Smith to Thomas Hobbes and Thomas Paine, the great thinkers of the Enlightenment were concerned with how people would be with government. From Thomas Jefferson to Benjamin Franklin, from George Washington to John Adams the great thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment were concerned with how governments should be with people.

Enlightenment thinkers and authors often met at salons hosted by influential women in Paris during the 18th century. Some famous salons were hosted by Madame Geoffrin, Madame de Tencin, and Madame de Pompadour, where intellectuals would gather to discuss philosophy, politics, and literature.

You should be concerned. Because without it no life would be there on earth.
These thinkers valued reason, science, religious tolerance, and what they called "natural rights"-life, liberty, and property.

They wrote that people had the right to change the government. This was a revolutionary idea in the world of kings. It turns to idea of government upside down in the 1700’s.

Possibly, although, without the Enlightenment it would not have resulted in the secular rule of Law, nor necessarily been established upon the fundamental rights of man.
