The Age Of Reason

European and American literary arts of the 18th century grew at an unprecedented speed. During this period, the UK also enjoyed long-term domestic peace, in contrast to the continuation of the 17th century bloody bloody and long-term civil war and international confrontation. In addition, the growing middle class is increasingly seeking education and recreation, the art production market is expanding. One of the most important elements of the 18th century is the increase in prints for readers and writers.

The 18 th century was called era of enlightenment or era of reason. Historians do not necessarily truncate the historical period strictly according to the date, the part known as the 18th century reason era usually refers to the period from 1715 to 1789. 1715 is the last year of Queen Anne's reign, the end of the Spanish throne inheritance war. 1789 was the beginning of the French Revolution. In addition to the date, the age of reason is an extraordinary era of intellectual infertility. The scientific revolution that began about a century ago changed people's perception of the problem not only in the field of science but also in the general field of public relations. The principle behind the era of reason is that by using human intelligence it is possible to make a reasonable decision about how people and the country do business.

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.

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 .
