The Age of Enlightenment and the Age of Absolutism?

Age of absolutism was during the seventeenth and mostly eighteenth century, during the reign of Louis XIV (in France), and the Stuarts (in England). Absolutism means that the king has power of everything: war religion and economy. He doesn't have to consult anyone before making decisions. He was the only authority and his power came from god.

Age of Enlightenment was also during the eighteenth century mostly. There were many philosophers like Voltaire, Thomas Hobbs, and John Locke. There were many scientists like Galileo Galilei, Copernicus, Francis Bacon, Descartes, and Isaac Newton. This enlightenment was basically when people of Europe started questioning the way the world works, and if their government and society were good or not. Many ideas and theories and discoveries occurred during this time and just knowledge was pouring and flowing throughout Europe. Kinda like the Renaissance in the fact that there were ALOT of changes happening, but the Enlightenment was not really about art, but more important stuff like Science, Anatomy, Astronomy, Politics, Religion, Mathematics, Society and also Gender Equality.

Hope this helped

The Age Of Absolutism

This is an outstanding question, and one that's been on my mind a lot, lately. It seems like the problem with Islam in the modern day is that it's been stagnant in it's ideology for the last 800 years. There's been no real advancement in thought since the Crusades. Where is Islam's Voltaire? Where is its Spinoza? Where are the thinkers that will free it from dangerous dogmatism that keeps it locked in the Dark Ages? Islam desperately needs an Enlightenment, if it ever hopes to successfully integrate into the modern world. It can't survive forever with an attitude of xenophobia and aggression against non-adherents. <edit> @♣♠KiNgZoFsAnDz♠♣: That argument is getting really stale. I'm a little sick of Muslims recycling the mantra "But we saved Aristotle, and invented the concept of Zero!" What have you done in the past few centuries of any note? Besides oppress women, hang homosexuals, and wage holy war? You're stuck in the past, and that's the problem. Muslims are killing their own religion and every culture that comes into contact with it. <edit> Very well, Ms. Revolution. I'll certainly look up Ibn Arabi and Mulla Sadra. Fair is fair. Till then, please try not to fly anymore planes into our buildings. Have fun dressing from head to toe in curtains, and being worth half as much as a man in your "superior" culture. Thanks *dripping sarcasm*
