Enlightenment Thought

From Polcompball Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

"The public use of a man's reason must be free at all times, and this alone can bring enlightenment among men..."

The Enlightenment was born sometime in the late 17th century and is the ancestor of many, many ideologies. They are a broad ideology used to represent ideas of the Age of Enlightenment. Although their biggest contribution to the world was to give birth to Republicanism and Classical Liberalism, they also caused the separation of church and state and went against tyranny. Their ideas promoted individual liberty, progress, fraternity, and tolerance.

Enlightenment parented Classical Liberalism in the early 18th century, as the concept of the invisible hand and free-market ideas were created. Classical Liberalism was then the parent of most free-market ideologies.

Enlightenment also gave birth to the modern republican ideals, which led to the creation of the Society of the Friends of the Constitution, from which originated Jacobinism, the predominant political force in the French Revolution. Jacobinism later would form the basic blocks of Socialism.

They also had a child with Agrarianism called Physiocracy, who would in turn become the parent of Georgism.

And, for last, at the start of the 20th century, they had a child with Austrian School, Neo-Enlightenment.
