"I have to apologize, but I have done my best to research enlightenment philosophers and am not having much success finding a good answer. What I have found is that it refers to a group of philosophers from a period in Western history known as the ""Age of Enlightenment""."
Philosophers of the European Enlightenment favored the protection of Individual rights.
They believed that every human beings should have their freedom of speech and the freedom of religion. Enlightenment philosophers wanted to have a government of their own and a right to vote. They wanted to overthrow the monarchies. Most importantly, the enlightenment philosophers wanted individual freedom.

Two Enlightenment philosophers were Voltaire, known for advocating for freedom of speech and religious tolerance, and John Locke, known for his ideas on natural rights and the social contract theory.
1. Philosophers began the enlightenment by questioning society and the laws of nature.
The economic philosophers viewed progress in 1700's as having ushered in the Age of Enlightenment.
In later years of Enlightenment, absolute monarchs in the several European countries adopted some ideas of Enlightenment political philosophers.
Well, first of all, Hitler lived from 1889 to 1945; while the enlightenment was during the eighteenth century (1700's). So there was at least a hundred year gap between the two. If you mean to ask whether he followed the concepts and thoughts of enlightenment philosophers, I'd say no. Enlightenment philosophers urged religious toleration, equality of all under the law, and natural rights. Hitler, on the other hand, persecuted Jews for their religious background, slaughtered anyone who got in his way, and didn't care who anyone was or what rights they might have.
Enlightenment philosophers believed in the power of reason, rationality, and science to improve society and challenge traditional beliefs. They emphasized individual freedom, equality, and separate church-state institutions. Key figures include John Locke, Voltaire, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
