In the 18th century, "enthusiasm" referred to a fervent and passionate zeal, often linked to religious or spiritual fervor. It was seen both positively, as a source of inspiration and motivation, and negatively, as a potential for fanaticism or irrationality. Enlightenment thinkers critiqued excessive enthusiasm, advocating for reason and moderation instead. Thus, the term carried a dual connotation, reflecting both admiration for passionate conviction and caution against uncontrolled fervor.
