The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival during the

early 19th century in the United States. The movement began around 1790,

gained momentum by 1800 and, after 1820, membership rose rapidly

among Baptist and Methodist congregations whose preachers led the

movement. It was past its peak by the late 1840s. The Second Great

Awakening reflected Romanticism characterized by enthusiasm, emotion,

and an appeal to the supernatural. It rejected the skeptical rationalism and

deism of the Enlightenment.

The revivals enrolled millions of new members in existing evangelical

denominations and led to the formation of new denominations. Many

converts believed that the Awakening heralded a new millennial age. The

Second Great Awakening stimulated the establishment of many reform

movements designed to remedy the evils of society before the anticipated

Second Coming of Jesus Christ.[1]

Historians named the Second Great Awakening in the context of the First

Great Awakening of the 1730s and 1750s and of the Third Great Awakening

of the late 1850s to early 1900s. These revivals were part of a much larger

Romantic religious movement that was sweeping across Europe at the time,

mainly throughout England, Scotland, and Germany.[2]

New religious movements emerged during the Second Great Awakening,

such as Adventism, Dispensation, and Mormonism.

Reptile [31]

Answer: Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, writer and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic and educational thought.

Explanation:

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712—1778)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of the most influential thinkers during the Enlightenment in eighteenth century Europe. His first major philosophical work, A Discourse on the Sciences and Arts, was the winning response to an essay contest conducted by the Academy of Dijon in 1750. In this work, Rousseau argues that the progression of the sciences and arts has caused the corruption of virtue and morality. This discourse won Rousseau fame and recognition, and it laid much of the philosophical groundwork for a second, longer work, The Discourse on the Origin of Inequality. The second discourse did not win the Academy’s prize, but like the first, it was widely read and further solidified Rousseau’s place as a significant intellectual figure. The central claim of the work is that human beings are basically good by nature, but were corrupted by the complex historical events that resulted in present day civil society. Rousseau’s praise of nature is a theme that continues throughout his later works as well, the most significant of which include his comprehensive work on the philosophy of education, the Emile, and his major work on political philosophy, The Social Contract: both published in 1762. These works caused great controversy in France and were immediately banned by Paris authorities. Rousseau fled France and settled in Switzerland, but he continued to find difficulties with authorities and quarrel with friends. The end of Rousseau’s life was marked in large part by his growing paranoia and his continued attempts to justify his life and his work. This is especially evident in his later books, The Confessions, The Reveries of the Solitary Walker, and Rousseau: Judge of Jean-Jacques.
