The Enlightenment took place in Europe due to a combination of factors including the rise of rational thought, the scientific revolution, and the questioning of traditional authority, particularly the Church and absolute monarchy. The availability of printing technology facilitated the spread of new ideas, while the socio-political context, including the aftermath of the Renaissance and the Reformation, encouraged intellectual exploration. European philosophers and thinkers sought to apply reason and empirical evidence to all aspects of life, leading to advancements in philosophy, science, and politics. This cultural movement ultimately laid the groundwork for modern democratic thought and individual rights.
