This was an era in which people used reason to try to understand more about human behavior and solve the problems of society Hobbes and Locke Have Conflicting Views English philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke both wrote about society and the ideal form of governing it.

  6. The Enlightenment and the American Revolution Section 1: Philosophy in the Age of Reason, pp 544-549 The Philosophes A group of French philosophers who wrote about government, law, and society were known as the philosophes. Baron de Montesquieu believed in employing three branches of government that could balance each other’s powers. Voltaire fought the slave trade and religious prejudice with his witty writings. Denis Diderot collected Enlightenment articles in an Encyclopedia that helped to spread ideas throughout Europe and the Americas. Jean-Jacques Rousseau thought people were basically good and should be much freer from governmental controls. During the Enlightenment, some women stood up for their inclusion in the new societies that were being imagined.

Painters embraced the lighter and more informal rococo style; composers, too, moved away from the baroque and into rococo and classical music. This was evidenced in the works of Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. In literature, the novel was king as audiences devoured long stories about their own times.
