Zama za Mwangaza

Zama za Mwangaza (au Falsafa ya mwangaza au Mwangaza au Wakati wa akili) ni jina la vuguvugu la kiutamaduni hasa katika karne ya 18 barani Ulaya.

Kituo chake kikuu kilikuwa nchini Ufaransa kikiongozwa na wanafalsafa wawili ambao ni Voltaire na Denis Diderot. Huyo alieneza azimio la mwangaza kwa kutumia mfululizo wa Encyclopédie, kitabu kikubwa cha kwanza cha kumbukumbu.

Azimio muhimu zaidi la mwangaza lilikuwa ni kuamini watu kwa sababu. Watu wote wana uwezo wa kujifikiria. Kwa hiyo, mtu hapaswi kuamini vitu kwa nguvu ya kimamlaka. Watu hawatakiwi kuamini kinachofundishwa na Kanisa wala kile anachofundisha mchungaji. 

Azimio lingine muhimu ni kwamba jamii imeendelea vyema kwamba wanachama wake wote wana vyeo sawa tu, hamna ubaguzi, wanashirikiana sawa tu katika usanifu. 

Historia
Tapo hilo la falsafa lilianza mwishoni mwa karne ya 17 na kuenea katika karne ya 18 katika Ulaya nzima na hatimaye Marekani likisisitiza akili na nafsi ya mtu kuliko mapokeo."enlightenment". Oxford Dictionaries. Oxford University Press, n.d. Web. 19 September 2013. 

Lengo lilikuwa kurekebisha jamii kwa kufuata uelewa wa akili, hasa kupitia mbinu za sayansi, si desturi na mafundisho ya imani, hasa ya Kanisa Katoliki. 

Ilifanya wengi wapate wasiwasi kuhusu dini na wazingatie zaidi sayansi,Kors, Alan Charles. Encyclopedia of the Enlightenment. Oxford: Oxford UP, 2003. Print. ikiathiri historia yote iliyofuata hata upande wa siasa. 

Kati ya watu walioisambaza, muhimu zaidi ni wanafalsafa Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677), John Locke (1632–1704), Pierre Bayle (1647–1706), Voltaire (1694–1778) na nwanafizikia Isaac Newton (1643–1727).Sootin, Harry. "Isaac Newton." New York, Messner(1955). 

Mara nyingi watawala waliunga mkono watu kama hao wakajaribu kutekeleza maelekezo yao kwa serikali.

Baada ya mwaka 1800 watu wengi walianza kushtukia matokeo yake (hasa Mapinduzi ya Kifaransa) na kuelekea upande mwingine, ule wa hisia.
