The Enlightenment.
The movement that emphasized high moral standards is often referred to as the moral reform movement, which gained prominence in the 19th century, particularly in the United States. It sought to address social issues such as poverty, alcoholism, and slavery by advocating for ethical behavior and personal responsibility. This movement was closely linked to various social reform efforts, including the temperance movement and abolitionism, and was driven by religious groups who believed in the importance of moral living for societal improvement.
Two areas of gentle winds and frequent calms that caused problems for sailors in the eighteenth century were the regions called the horse latitudes and the prevailing westerlies.
The Eighteenth and nineteenth century Romantics called economics the "Dismal Science" to criticize its focus on utilitarianism and materialism, which they believed ignored the beauty and spiritual aspects of life. The term was coined by Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle.
Revivalism was a religious movement in the 19th century that emphasized emotional experiences and personal connections to faith, often manifesting through large gatherings and evangelical fervor. In contrast, transcendentalism was a philosophical and literary movement that championed individual intuition, nature, and the inherent goodness of people, promoting self-reliance and spiritual exploration. Both movements sought to inspire a deeper connection to the divine and a rejection of established norms; however, revivalism was primarily focused on religious awakening, while transcendentalism emphasized intellectual and spiritual independence. Ultimately, revivalism aimed for collective religious renewal, whereas transcendentalism encouraged personal enlightenment and a profound appreciation for nature.
The Moravian Church traces its roots to the Unity of the Brethren, a Christian movement founded in the 15th century in Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic) by followers of theologian John Huss. After facing persecution, the movement largely went underground until its revival in the 18th century under the leadership of Count Nicolaus Zinzendorf in Herrnhut, Saxony. Zinzendorf emphasized a personal relationship with Christ and community living, leading to the establishment of the Moravian Church as a distinct denomination. The Moravian Church is known for its missionary work and commitment to education and social justice.
It was called the age of the Enlightenment.
The eighteenth-century French philosophes were concerned with promoting reason, scientific inquiry, and individual freedoms. They challenged traditional authority, such as monarchies and the Catholic Church, advocating for social and political reforms based on rational principles. They played a key role in the Enlightenment movement, which emphasized reason, progress, and tolerance.
