Ambitious people were killed in the name of the Catholic Church for their scientific and philosophical works, which were often viewed as heretical. As time went on, however, and the truths of scientific research and exploration showed themselves time and time again, the collective perspective of the population began to shift away from religious dogma toward the logical scientific method.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Enlightenment gained traction in the 17th century, and more emphasis was given to scientific techniques in the schools, as well as to the separation of religious and scientific data. Religious philosophies also became less rooted in the exact words of the Catholic Church, as papal authority gave way in many European countries to splinter groups of Christianity, such as the Calvinists, Lutherans, and other types of Protestants.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Major figures of the Enlightenment period include Voltaire, Isaac Newton, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, and Thomas Jefferson. These and many other great thinkers of the era influenced mass social upheaval in pursuit of equality and human rights, and many historians consider the culmination of these efforts to have been the French Revolution of 1789.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eAge of Enlightenment: A Captivating Guide to the Age of Reason, Including the Lives of Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, John Locke, and Mary Somerville\u003c\/em\u003e, you will discover topics such as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Republic of Letters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMichel de Montaigne\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrancis Bacon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMarie de Gournay\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRené Descartes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBathsua Makin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnna Maria Van Schurman\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDorothy Moore\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrincess Elisabeth of Bohemia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRobert Boyle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJohn Locke\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIsaac Newton\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEngland's Civil War\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Royal Society of London\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMarie du Moulin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConflict in the Royal Society\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCharles-Louis de Secondat (Montesquieu)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBenjamin Franklin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDavid Hume\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdam Smith\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Boston Tea Party\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThomas Paine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe American Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrançois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMary Sommerville\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn more about the Age of Enlightenment, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 126\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 19, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710576103487,"sku":"9781647480202","price":19.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/aab8e2f6b8afda7c960a99334debae47.webp?v=1765055420","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/age-of-enlightenment-a-captivating-guide-to-the-age-of-reason-including-the-lives-of-isaac-newton-francis-bacon-john-locke-and-mary-somerville-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
