The Enlightenment was an intellectual and philosophical movement
that dominated the world of ideas in Europe in the 17th and 18th
centuries. Its thinkers believed in individual liberty, religious
tolerance, opposition to absolute monarchy and the dogmas of the
Church, and an emphasis on the scientific method and the primacy of
reason.
The Enlightenment overturned many then traditional ideas about
politics, science, arts, law, economics and many other fields – but
at the centre of their project was a slew of revolutionary ideas
about learning. Donald pinpoints a group of enlightenment thinkers
who had particularly interesting things to say about how we learn
and how we ought to learn, many of which speak to central issues of
our own time.
