Famous People of the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment or âAge of reasonâ was a period in the late seventeenth century and early eighteenth century, where a group of philosophers, scientists and thinkers advocated new ideas based on reason.
The ideas of the Enlightenment have had a major impact on the culture, politics, and governments of the Western world. Originating about 1650 to 1700, it was sparked by philosophers Baruch Spinoza, John Locke, Pierre Bayle, Voltaire and physicist Isaac Newton. Ruling princes often endorsed and fostered figures and even attempted to apply their ideas of government in what was known as enlightened absolutism.
