Question

Which was not a cause of the European Enlightenment? a. the Protestant Reformation b. the Scientific Revolution c. secular humanism d. the monastic movement

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option D) The Monastic Movement.

The European Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Enlightenment or Age of Logic refers to an ideology which dominated most of Europe in the 18th Century.

It refers to a post-Renaissance Europe where science and logic had begun to play a greater role in the society.

People were questioning ancient dogmas, traditions and superstitions and beginning to discover the science behind many natural occurrences.

The age was significantly pushed by the Protestant reformation, the scientific revolution and the rise of secular humanism.

The Monastic Movement, on the other hand is a religious way of life, where a person shuns the 'material world' in devotion to God. It is the complete opposite of the European Enlightenment and had no part in it.
