The Age of Reason

The reasonable period of rationality is the period from Utrecht's Peace (1713) to the French Revolution of 1789. This is an era in which rationality basically replaces religion as a guide for art and thought. And the reign of men. Without a doubt, accepting the old social order and the ancient way of dominating the country has created a new important inquiry mind that requires a reasonable defense of the existing social system. The universal application of reason is believed to release Europe from the artificial, restrictive, fraudulent and superstitious heritage of the dark era.

The enlightenment of French literature in the era of intelligent era and rationalism is the period after the classical era of France in the 1700s. During this time, philosophers will focus on rationality as the best way to learn. It explores education, law philosophy and political issues. It attacks tyranny, social injustice, superstition, and ignorance. In this time, progress has been made in the fields of anatomy, astronomy, chemistry, mathematics and physics. - French Neoclassicalism In the 17th century, the age of Louis XIV, Sun King witnessed the emergence of neoclassical ideals, the three largest masters of France, Corneille, Racine, Moliere. With the decline of the religious play in the middle of the 16th century, French play slowly developed. The French Renaissance began in 1630 and ended in 1700

Many critical thinkers believed that religion and reason are hostile in the age of enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries. For them, the Middle Ages or the "era of faith" is therefore the opposite of the era of reason. Kant and Voltaire were attacking the Middle Ages as an era of religious decline, and gibbons in the "history of decline and decline of the Roman Empire" expressed contempt for 'dark aged garbage'. But like Petrarch, he saw himself at the cutting edge of the "new era" and criticized it for centuries before his own time, as was the enlightenment writer .
