Enlightenment Case Study: Foxhowe

Decent Essays
Enlightenment
Foxhowe enjoyed a banner season this year thanks to our members, whose support allowed us to engage a unique mix of appealing and renowned presenters, who in turn attracted large and appreciative audiences. Programs, both educational and cultural, and receptions with the speakers and performers, made Foxhowe a popular choice for Buck Hillers and our Barrett Township neighbors.
The Barrett Paradise Friendly Library became a crowd-pleasing venue for several events, and the Foxhowe board deeply appreciates the relentless support and spirited partnership of its director Cindy DeLuca. We hope to continue to take advantage of this remarkable neighborhood amenity next season.
Don't forget our last event of the season, the annual picnic

    In the seventeenth century, Europe was undergoing drastic movements such as the Protestant Reformation and the Enlightenment. These movements significantly impacted a citizen’s relationship with their government, how they practiced religion, and their overall perception of the role and capabilities of institutions. Not only were these new ideas present in Europe, but they also diffused to colonies such as America. During the period 1607 to 1754, Enlightenment philosophy influenced Americans politically by causing colonists to view their government as an institution designed to serve their needs and ensure their natural rights, religiously by inspiring Americans to practice their faith without dependency on religious officials in societies such…

    After centuries of intolerance and absolutism dominated the European continent and left the majority of its people with few to no rights, living in conditions with little hope to advance themselves as individuals, the cruelty of the Middle Ages finally gave way to a new movement that offered hope for a better life. There have always been great philosophers throughout history, dating back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans, but during the Enlightenment, some of the most influential voices including Voltaire, Condorcet, Baron de Montesquieu and John Locke literally changed the course of Western civilization. The Age of Enlightenment represented more than just a collection of thoughts, but formed the fundamental backbone of ideals and principles…

Ideals of equality and liberty were cherished in the Enlightenment movement, and those who took those ideals to heart were able to jumpstart another movement, one of revolutions. Those who were responsible for starting the revolutions had voices and ideals that were heard across the globe, and while they clearly presented agreeable arguments they also had restrictions on how far they would or could go. The American Revolution was a fight for independence from the oppressive British rule.…

    With the new ideas of the Enlightenment being popularized, Europeans began to take different views that usually contrasted previous ways of thinking, including different takes on religion, open-mindedness and rejection of human rights, and exploring different ways of thinking about everything else.

    I believe the Enlightenment changed America by making us more unique as people instead of a group. It pulled us away from the traditional European ways and led us to our own path instead of following religious leaders. There was no more “Impress God and he will not smite you down for committing a sin” because they were opened up to a whole new world. Anew way of thinking and a new way of seeing. The kings and queens weren’t chosen by a holy figure, they just told us that so we would listen to them.…
