The Enlightenment was a period of intense intellectual fervor that lasted from approximately 1650 to 1789. More a spirit than an organized movement, it sought to cast the light of understanding on the darkness of humanity's ignorance and selfishness. This book takes a look at the key players involved in the movement, from its roots in Europe to its movement across the ocean to the new nation of the United States.
