What major events happened during the enlightenment period?

Answer 1

The enlightenment is the period of time that brought literature and arts back from the dead after the dark ages. It was the pivotal moment in history that established everything we see and appreciate as 'art' today. Without the enlightenment, we wouldn't be as educated as we are now, we wouldn't know how to read or write, we wouldn't have developed a sense of culture. so in a sense everything we take for granted like books, film, television, plays, art museums, theatre, poetry, song, music, the list is progressive, all stemmed from the enlightenment.

Answer 2

Some major events during the Enlightenment period include the publication of Isaac newton's "Principia Mathematica," the French Revolution, the American Revolution, and the publication of influential works by philosophers like john Locke, Voltaire, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The Enlightenment period was characterized by a focus on reason, science, individual rights, and the questioning of traditional authority.
