French Enlightenment Thinkers Overview by hanbi0612 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Enlightenment, which began in Western Europe in the mid-15th century and peaked in France by the mid-18th century, involved questioning traditional beliefs, particularly in religion. Thinkers of this era, such as Voltaire and Rousseau, emphasized empirical evidence and the scientific method to challenge established doctrines and promote logical reasoning. This shift marked a significant departure from reliance on religious authority, leading to new ways of understanding humanity and the natural world.
