Philosophy in the Age of Reason How did the social contract and separation of powers affect views on government? How did scientific progress promote trust in human reason? Enlightenment How did new ideas affect society and the economy?

Progress and Reason If people used reason to find laws that governed the physical world, why not use reason to discover natural laws, or laws that governed human nature? Scientific progress convinced Europeans of the power of human reason. The Scientific Revolution led to another revolution in thinking, which came to be known as the Enlightenment-Age where reason and science were used to solve society’s problems .

Political Thinkers of the Enlightenment Thomas Hobbes John Locke Baron de Montesquieu People are basically good Everyone has natural rights and it is the government’s job to protect our rights. Natural rights are rights present at birth such as Life, liberty, and property People are naturally cruel, greedy, and selfish. People entered into a social contract, in order to live in an organized society. Only an absolute monarchy can ensure an orderly society. The separation of powers is the best way to protect liberty. Each branch of government should serve as a check on the others.

Thinkers called philosophes believed that the use of reason could lead to reforms of government, law, and society. MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT Rousseau Voltaire Defended the principle of freedom of speech. Fought divine right with logic and criticized absolute monarchy with his books Argued that a woman should be able to decide what is in her own interest and should not be completely dependent on her husband. Called for equal education for girls and boys. Believed that people were basically good and should rule themselves in a direct democracy. Said government controls should be minimal Felt the good of the community should be placed above individual interests.

New Economic Thinking Laissez faire means allowing businesses to run with little or no government interference. Physiocrats rejected mercantilism in favor of a policy called laissez faire. Thinkers called physiocrats focused on economic reforms. Like the philosophes, physiocrats looked for natural laws to define a rational economic system.

Adam Smith Smith supported laissez faire, but also believed that a government had a duty to protect society, administer justice, and provide public works. In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith argued that the free market should be allowed to regulate business activity.

Checkpoint Who believed that people are naturally cruel and greedy? a) Montesquieu b) Hobbes c) Rousseau d) Voltaire Which of the following is true of the physiocrats? a) They rejected laissez faire in favor or mercantilism. b) They rejected mercantilism in favor of laissez faire. c) They rejected both mercantilism and laissez faire. d) They focused on social reform.

Enlightenment Ideas Spread What roles did censorship and salons play in the spread of new ideas? How did philosophes influence enlightened despots? How did the Enlightenment affect arts and literature? Why were the lives of the majority unaffected?

The Roles of Censorship and Salons Government and church officials tried to protect the old order. To defend against the attacks of the Enlightenment, they used censorship, the restricting of access to ideas and information. They banned and burned books and imprisoned writers. Salons were informal social gatherings where writers, artists, philosophers, and others exchanged ideas.

Enlightened Despots Enlightened despots were absolute rulers who used their power to bring about political and social change. FREDERICK THE GREAT CATHERINE THE GREAT JOSEPH II Exerted tight control over subjects, but saw himself as a “servant of the state.” Tolerated religious differences. Distributed seeds and tools to peasants. Was interested in Enlightenment ideas but intended to give up no power. Made some limited reforms in law and government. Granted nobles a charter of rights. Criticized the institution of serfdom. Most radical of enlightened despots. Granted toleration to Protestants and Jews. Ended censorship and tried to control the Catholic Church. Sold church property to build hospitals. Abolished serfdom.

Literature and the Arts In the 1600s and 1700s, the arts evolved to meet changing tastes. LITERATURE Literature developed new forms and a wide new audience. Middle class readers enjoyed stories about their own times. Great numbers of novels were written. COURTLY ART Artists and designers developed the rococo style, which was personal, elegant, and charming. MUSIC New kinds of musical entertainment evolved, such as ballets and operas. Music followed ordered, structured forms. Johann Sebastian Bach,George Frederick Handel, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were brilliant and influential composers of this time.

Rococo Art

The Lives of Peasants Peasant life varied across Europe. Peasant culture, based on centuries-old traditions, changed slowly. In Western Europe, serfdom had largely disappeared. Peasants worked their own plots of land, were tenants of large landowners, or worked as day laborers. In central and Eastern Europe, serfdom remained firmly rooted. Peasants owed labor services to their lords and could be bought and sold with the land.

Checkpoint Which ruler was the most radical of the enlightened despots? a) Catherine the Great b) Frederick the Great c) Joseph II d) Maria Theresa Which of the following is true of peasant life in Europe? a) Serfdom had all but disappeared in Eastern Europe. b) Serfdom remained firmly rooted in Western Europe. c) Serfdom remained firmly rooted in Eastern Europe. d) Peasants lived similarly in Eastern and Western Europe.

Britain at Mid-Century What influences spurred Britain’s rise to global power? How did the growth of constitutional government reflect conditions in politics and society? How did George III reassert royal power?

Why Did Britain Rise to Global Power in the 1700s? Location placed England in a position to control trade during the Renaissance. In the 1700s, Britain was usually on the winning side in European conflicts. England had developed a powerful navy, which could protect its growing empire and trade. England offered a more favorable climate to business and commerce than did its European rivals. The union of England and Scotland brought economic advantages to both lands.

United Kingdom of Great Britain

Growth of Constitutional Government In the century following the Glorious Revolution, three new political institutions arose in Britain: 1. Political parties emerged in England in the late 1600s. The first political parties, the Tories and the Whigs, represented small exclusive groups of wealthy men. 2. The cabinet system was a group of advisers to the prime minister. They were called the cabinet because they met in a small room. 3. The Prime Minister was the leader of the majority party in Parliament and in time the chief official of the British government. The appearance of these institutions was part of the evolution of Britain’s constitutional government, that is a government whose power is defined and limited by law.

George III George III came to power anxious to reassert royal power. He wanted to end Whig domination, choose his own ministers, dissolve the cabinet system, and make Parliament follow his will. Toward these ends, he: Gave parliamentary seats to his friends and supporters. Tried to force English colonists in North America to pay the costs of their own defense. In 1775, George’s policies in North America triggered the American Revolution, which ended in a loss for Britain.

Checkpoint Which three new institutions emerged in Britain during the 1600s and 1700s? a) prime minister, political parties, monarchy b) prime minister, cabinet, political parties c) power of the purse, prime minister, cabinet d) monarchy, power of the purse, political parties Which of the following was a goal of George III? a) strengthening the Whig party b) holding elections for ministers c) dissolving the cabinet d) increasing the power of Parliament
