The Enlightenment

‘The enlightenment ’ can refer to the enlightenment of e.g. Christianity (or its university system), or the enlightenment of a type of rationalist period in Europe (see "The Enlightenment").☀The general meaning of “Enlightenment” is perhaps self-evident. In one standard reference work, Chisick’s Historical Dictionary of the Enlightenment, we find the following definition: “the process of spreading certain kinds of information, knowledge, understanding and attitudes.” The editor adds the following gloss: “The name of the movement is its own key metaphor: light spreading and driving out the darknesses of ignorance, superstition and fanaticism.” The enlightened is the obverse of the benighted, as day is the obverse of night. But of course images of enlightenment in this sense will be found in all the major religions and secular philosophies of the world....Sorcerers had existed since the time of the Bible and before. But a sorcerer like Count Cagliostro was made possible only by an essentially new social context, the features of which included extensive and rapid international communication of ideas in a functioning “Republic of Letters,” and a self-conscious and well-organized international intellectual elite of Rosicrucians and Freemasons.
