The Age of Enlightenment (aka The Age of Reason) started in the early 17th century (1685 to be exact). It's key to know that early philospophers in England like Thomas Hobbes and Francis Bacon, as well as scientists such as Isaac Newton were really the ones who started it. The works they published in science, mathematics and philosophy provided the proper tools that would be used throughout the age. It's also key to know that nations other than England had their own Enlightenments, each starting some time after the English Enlightenment.
It primarily began as a result of philosophers and thinkers questioning traditional authority, and trying to change humanity through rational and moral improvements. This led to some of the greatests modern philosophers of our time, and changed the world into what we have today.
