What would have happened if the enlightenment had not taken place?
Iqla
Hard to imagine. There were so many factors leading to the enlightenment - the spread of printing widening knowledge and providing translations of bibles and rapid spread of polemics. The rise of personal interpretation of scripture. The political fracturing of local princes wanting to get out from under the Holy Roman Emperor. The corruption of the Papacy leading to discontent in the church. The rise of cities with their own govenrnance and the first real strength of a middle class. The flood of knowledge that came through Islamic Spain, and the wide disturbances caused by the invasion of eastern Europe by the Islamic Turks. The discovery of America and the opportunities and losses caused by the inflationary waves of treasure. The invention of the scientific method and its increasing use to develop chemistry, physics, astronomy and medicine.
So, how do you answer a question like that? Which set of things do you propose to subtract in order to prevent the enlightenment from happening? Your choices of what to subtract will give you some answer. But subtracting just one thing probably won't work, the changes would just have come a little later.

What might have happened if the enlightenment had not taken place?
the church age would have not started. the enlightenment was a period of time in which churches became popular because people began having spiritual revelations on a massive scale. the church age is the time period from the enlightenment to the present in which the churches that appeared as a result thrive. if not for the enlightenment the presence of these churches would have been fewer and less people would know about some of the popular religions of today. with the development of technology as it is today the enlightenment would have simply happened at a later time.
