Why did the men of this era, 1600-1770, call the age the
Enlightenment?(5) During this age of the Enlightment
because the men at this ear felt they were “Enlightned”
group. They believed they were coming to grips with the
age old problem of humans. THey had the beliefs that
they had come closer to any other age to figure out how
the universe and man worked and how to live more
resonably and a good life. Why is it sometimes referred
to as the Age of Reason?(5)
Between the 1600-1700s the
Age of Reason was the name this era was called because,
because most of the great thinkers nd educated men of
this time thought that the universe and world was
logical, rational, and reasonable, and this could
stablilize or a mans modern passions and actions. What
accounts for its sometimes being called the
Neo-Classical Age?
(5) The Neo-Classical Ago was the
period in which most of the writers of this time
believed the classics of Greece and Rome were the models
for all good writing. They believed their duty was to
“make the old new again”. If a writer attempted a
radically new form his writing was often critically
rejected. How was this period both anxious and
optimistic at the same time?
(5) There were two
different accounts of anxiety and optimism. The optimism
account for mans belief that human behavior could be
moderated or changed if everyone followed the laws of
nature, which was viewed as rational and logical. The
anxiety comes when a result of seeing, time after time,
that man does not always act as a rational and logical
creature.
