It was called the Age of Enlightenment because during this period, there was a movement of intellectuals and philosophers who believed in the power of reason, science, and individual rights to advance society towards progress and away from ignorance and superstition. This emphasis on reason and knowledge "enlightened" the minds of people and encouraged critical thinking and skepticism towards traditional authority.
