The Enlightenment benefited marginalized groups such as women, people of color, and the lower class the least. While the Enlightenment emphasized reason, individual rights, and progress, these groups faced continued discrimination and lack of access to the rights and privileges championed by Enlightenment thinkers.
The least characteristic of the Enlightenment is likely the belief in traditional religious authority or divine right. Enlightenment thinkers tended to prioritize reason, individualism, and skepticism of established institutions over blindly accepting religious dogma or monarchial rule.
Rulers would feel ambivalent about the Enlightenment because it promoted ideas of freedom, individual rights, and limited government, which could challenge their absolute power and authority. On the other hand, the Enlightenment also produced ideas that could benefit rulers, such as promoting reason, education, and efficiency in government.
Enlightenment thinkers viewed the social contract as an implicit agreement among individuals to establish a society and government to ensure mutual protection and benefit. They believed that individuals willingly give up some of their natural rights in exchange for the protection of their remaining rights within a civil society.
Enlightenment thinkers defended slavery by arguing that it was a natural part of society and necessary for economic prosperity. They believed that certain races were inferior and therefore justified enslaving them for the benefit of stronger civilizations. Some also argued that slavery could help "civilize" and improve the lives of enslaved individuals.
The name for the group pride birthed from Enlightenment reasoning is called "Enlightenment humanism" or "Enlightenment rationalism."
Enlightenment will come to you when you least expect it, if your heart is truly ready.
