- The eighteenth century is the Age of Enlightenment. The
Enlightenment popularizes the ideas developed during the Age of
Reason. The Enlightenment is basically the view or belief that
modern science and our understanding of the social world derived
from modern science can help us to improve the living conditions on
this planet. War, poverty, and injustice are not God-given
punishments for our sinfulness but bad management. Oppressive
governments can be reformed or overthrown. Social inequality can be
alleviated and, maybe, overcome. Disease is not to be accepted
stoically but to be fought with new medicines. Poverty can be
reduced through the productivity of new inventions and
technologies. Ignorance can be overcome through universal public
education. Human societies are perfectible if only we have the will
and use our scientific knowledge to plan and socially engineer for
a better future. There is no limit to what human reason and
ingenuity can achieve.
