Enlightenment- the time for reason

Enlightenment- thinking

The Enlightenment Thinkers- People who applied the scientific approach to

society. Immanuel Kant John Locke Montesquieu and Rousseau Benjamin Franklin Voltaire

Immanuel Kant

In his famous 1784 essay "What Is Enlightenment?," Immanuel Kant defined it as follows:

"Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's own understanding without the guidance of another.”

The motto of enlightenment is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own intelligence!"

Voltaire – What did he care…. About?

What the short TV clip from family guy and try to guess what Voltaire cared about

Voltaire

Freedom of Speech. Now a part of our First Amendment Right

John Locke

John Locke-17th-century English philosopher concerned primarily with society.

Locke's key beliefs: "government with the consent of the governed" People's natural rights— life, liberty, and

property His ideas, formed the basis for the concepts used in

American law and government, allowing the colonists to justify their declaring of independence.

Rousseau – What did he know?

What this video and decide what Jean-Jaques Rousseau believed

Montesquieu and Rousseau

Rousseau Wanted democracy and the people’s right to

choose their government. The U.S. uses a democratic system of

government.

Montesquieu and Rousseau

Montesquieu Stressed an idea of government that had a

separation of powers. We use that in our federal government.

Checks and balances

Benjamin Franklin

Greatest American of the Enlightenment Famous quote “God helps them that helps

themselves”. Rely on yourself. Independent thinking.

Great inventor: cast-iron fireplace, bifocals, lightening rod (electricity)

Outstanding citizen, public servant. Founded the first library and fire department.

1754: based on the ideals of the Enlightenment he developed the ideas for the Albany Plan of Union

Political Cartoon: The Albany Plan of Union by Benjamin Franklin

Albany Plan of the Union

England still had the final say about American plans, not trying to break away, . . . . Yet!!!

Franklin realized that common interests of the colonies made it a necessity to have some form of common government. (unity)

To make a point he drew a picture (a political cartoon) previous page.

Enlightenment Summary

This movement provided a framework for the American Revolution. Democratic ideas spread through colonial America (IMPORTANT!!!)

Using reason and thinking for oneself will be key in the colonies seeking their independence.

The idea of the colonies working together (The Albany Plan of Union) will also be instrumental in the freedom process.

Enlightenment Quotes Choose one of the “philosophes” we learned about today. Use Google to search for something he or she said.

Find a quote that you think you understand. After checking with Mrs. La Vache, write your quote the side whiteboard

On a sheet of paper, write down at least five of the quotes. Beneath each one, put the quote into your own words.

The Great Awakening

“Come one, come all!”

What ideas does this quote call attention to?

Acceptance and tolerance. These ideas will lead to unity.

What is the Great Awakening?

Time in the 1730-1740’s of widespread religious passion in the colonies and a time of increased religious toleration and a feeling of community.

What Happened? Big Ideas Period of intense religious emotions in the colonies from

1730-1740. A few decades prior to the American Revolution.

Meetings held wherever a group could be gathered, all were welcome showing religious and social tolerance and equality.

Created a sense of unification (coming together/community)

Old ideas were challenged and discussed regarding moral choices, and absolute right or absolute wrong. This was an increase in individuality and thinking for oneself.

The Great Awakening shaped American culture by opening the minds to the concept of independence which helped lead to Revolutionary ideas against England.
