I think it is pretty much summed up in the phrase: Sapereaude!
It's latin and sort of translates into "dare to be wise!" And just like Kant's categorical imperative it is the imperative that humans have to be wise and dare to do so in order to prosper and to govern their reason in a reasonable way. As the Danish Lector of Philosophy, Háns Fink says ((I'm paraphrasing): "It is you as what ever role or member of society that you have, you have to use your own reason and to think and act in an reasonably and humanely way." So when everyone uses their their reason in the proper way, humanity will prosper. So to answer your question; the philosophers of the enlightenment hoped to improve human society by improving their ability to use their reason in the right and responsible way. A quote from Kant also says: "Argue as much as you will, and about what you will, only obey!"
