Study Notes

The Enlightenment

The Enlightenment emphasized reason over tradition and individualism over community values.
Key figures during this period included Descartes, who emphasized the importance of individual thought.
The movement challenged the roles of monarchs and the church, influencing revolutions in the US, France, and elsewhere.
Enlightenment thinkers were optimistic about human progress, believing reason applied to natural laws would lead to advancement.
They emphasized human capabilities to understand the natural world, although they did not deny the existence of God.
Traditional religious views became less pervasive during this period.
New ideas like liberalism and socialism emerged, alongside conservatism, which opposed these ideas.
The Enlightenment also led to revolutions with the aims of independence and constitutional representation.
Nationalism—the feeling of loyalty to one's culture and language group—became a significant idea during this period.
This concept contributed to the desire for independent nation-states, challenging existing multiethnic empires.

Roots of New Ideas

Francis Bacon emphasized empirical methods of scientific inquiry, meaning knowledge derived from experience and experiments, not just reasoning.
Thomas Hobbes and John Locke viewed political life through a social contract lens.
Hobbes believed people's natural state was bleak and required a strong central government for order.
Locke argued for natural rights to life, liberty, and property and the right to revolt against unjust government.
Locke's idea of the "blank slate" (tabula rasa) emphasized the importance of environment and education in shaping individuals.

The Philosophes

During the 18th century, "philosophes" (philosophers) explored social, political, and economic theories, drawing on earlier scientific thinkers.
These thinkers included figures like Montesquieu, whose ideas influenced the American system of checks and balances.
Voltaire, known for social satire, advocated for civil liberties.
The philosophes popularized ideas that emphasized reason and fostered the growth of new concepts.

Adam Smith

Adam Smith was a key Enlightenment thinker known for his economic theories.
In "The Wealth of Nations," he advocated for laissez-faire economics, where government intervention in the economy is minimized.
Smith's work influenced capitalist thought.

Deism

Some Enlightenment thinkers developed Deism, a belief that a divinity created natural laws and then let the universe operate on its own.
Deists believed that divine intervention in daily life is not required.

European Intellectual Life

Enlightenment ideas influenced various fields beyond political thought and economics, including education, social thought, and religion.
New social theories and reforms emerged, like utopian socialism.
Utopian socialists envisioned ideal communities governed by communal ownership and alternative visions of social and economic organization.
Notable figures like Henri de Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, and Robert Owen were part of the utopian socialist movement.

Feminism in the Enlightenment

The Enlightenment era saw the emergence of feminist thought, advocating for women's rights and equality.
Figures like Mary Wollstonecraft advocated for education and equal rights for women, based on reason and rational thought.
The concept of women's fundamental rights gained momentum.

Abolitionism

Abolitionism, the movement to end slavery, emerged during the Enlightenment and gained traction in the 18th century.
Individuals and groups actively campaigned to abolish slavery and the transatlantic slave trade.
Movements pushed for the freedom of enslaved people.

The End of Serfdom

Serfdom, a system of agricultural labor, began to decline in Europe, largely influenced by economic and social changes.

Zionism

Zionism, a movement seeking a Jewish homeland in Palestine, emerged in the later 19th century.
Antisemitism fueled the movement's rise as many Jewish people sought security in a homeland.
