Based on the most recent scholarship, this book provides students
and interested lay readers with a basic introduction to key facts
and current controversies concerning the Enlightenment. One of the
most significant developments in world history, the Enlightenment
transformed Europe by promoting reason over faith and advancing
skepticism, the scientific method, and intellectual inquiry. It
reshaped political and cultural history and formed the foundation
for many of today's institutions. The Enlightenment: History,
Documents, and Key Questions is a one-stop reference that serves
high school and undergraduate students in learning about the
background of the Enlightenment. The book also provides readers
with key insights into the distant origins of American democracy
and technology-based innovation. The text's coverage of the
Enlightenment from the late 17th century to the late 18th century
in both Europe and its American colonies supports Common Core
critical thinking skills for English Language Arts/World History
and Social Studies. The inclusion of primary source documents and
original argumentative essays work in conjunction with secondary
material such as topical entries to engage readers' minds and to
give them a fuller understanding the myriad factors that led to the
Enlightenment as well as its lasting effects. Provides the
Enlightenment in various formats, thereby enabling students to
better understand and fully appreciate its causes and effects

and secondary sources Includes argumentative essays that showcase
the diversity of informed opinions on the modern Enlightenment
