It supposed a scientifical revolution which promoted the scientific method and focused on reason over the ortodoxy of religious beliefs which predominated in the European society at those times and were for the first time severerly questioned.

The greatest revolution symbolizing the ideas spread by the Enlighment was the French Revolution in 1789, which fostered sharp social, religious, political and econominal changes such as individual liberties and right, the division of powers or religious tolerance.
