Age of Reason aka Age of Enlightenment Thomas Paine

Age of Reason Reason/Ration – The rational mind was God’s greatest gift to humanity, what separated us from and lifted us above the animals

Age of Reason Objectivity – The state or quality of being true outside an individual’s feelings, experiences, biases, or interpretations. The belief that truths are universal and repeatable. Scientific fact.

Age of Reason Science – Scientific Revolution Universities Academies and Societies – Galileo – Copernicus – Isaac Newton – William Herschel (circulation of blood)

Age of Reason Community/Nation – The individual’s greatest role is to sacrifice individual goals for the greater good of the community; you are a cog on a gear of a wheel of an arm of a part of a section of a machine. – Extend the idea of community enough and you have a Nation (and nations were just now being invented)

Age of Reason City/Urban (Industrial) – End of Enlightenment saw beginning of Industrial Revolution and end of Cottage Industries – Great migration from rural to urban

Age of Reason Deism – Why do bad things happen to good people? – God exists but is dormant – Argument from Design (nature) – Cosmos=giant watch – God=watchmaker

Age of Reason Truth (capital T) – Every question has an answer – Thomas Jefferson: “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.”

Age of Reason Stylized Language Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. John Freakin’ Donne

Age of Reason Nature – Nature was a thing—one that was at our disposal – Chop it up, nail it together, build a house – Chop it up, put it under a slide, study it – Chop it up, throw it on the grill—dinner!
