ury england was distinguished also in science and philosophy. (isaac newton, david hume, adam smith). the most active sections of population at that time were the commercial classes that are the middle classes. the writers and philosophers of this age reflected the ideology of the middle class. they protested against the survival of feudalism. they thought that vice was due to ignorance, so they started a public movement for enlightening the people. the enlighteners wanted to bring knowledge that is “light” to the people. to their understanding this would do away with all the evils of society, and social harmony would be achieved. the english enlightenment was a relatively conservative compromise of new and old ideas with current conditions. since the enlighteners believed in the power of reason, the period was also called the age of reason. the century had many other titles. it has been called the age of …
