Enlightenment  

Definición

  • In the late 17th century and the 18th century, enlightened thought and reforms, which represented a sharp break with the preceding Baroque period and age of confessionalism, occurred in various European countries and worldwide and developed everywhere relatively undisturbed until the French Revolution (1789). Our concept of modernity stems from the Enlightenment as well as the antirational Romantic movement that followed it. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Enlightenment]
