Is another age of enlightenment possible? If someone said they had the key to it, would they sound crazy?
Q. I have been working on such a project for some time and am ready to launch it, but I don't want to scare people off by sounding as if I am from another planet or some kind of whacko. That said, it really does bring about the good life. What would you suggest as an alternative?

A. We've never had an age of true enlightenment. You're talking about the period of time when we came out of the dark ages, Enlightenment is a state of being.

A. Possibly, but I see more the opposite happening. Anyone ever see the movie "Idiocracy"? Sometimes I wonder if we'll be like the human race in that movie devolutionizing into caveman minds being just totally stupid. I think we are at the crossroads of going either direction, where a new generation at least in America and other democratic nations must prove they can take over what the baby boomers are leaving behind. I myself am part of the next generation striving to improve the world. But it's going to take way more than just little ol' me.

Might a modern 'age of enlightenment' of faith based creationism be in order?
Q. The 'age of enlightenment' worked in the minds of some of the rulers of 18th century Europe. Maybe it will work in the minds of some of today's religionists who choose to understand life on earth as a function of faith based wishful thinking.
Asked by - Tue Aug 9 16:02:34 2011 - Religion & Spirituality - 6 Answers - Comments
A. If creationism had any support, yes, then a modern 'age of enlightenment' might be possible. But most ages of enlightenment came as a result of scientific advances and updated thinking. The 'creationist' view of an earth that is 6000 years old, and was created in six days, isn't new. It isn't even supported by any kind of science, and is largely the work of James Ussher, who determined the age by use of the Bible. He wasn't even the first. The bottom line is that creationist thinking is not updated thinking, even by attempting to use "intelligent design" in the mix. If anything, it demonstrates an amazing amount of ignorance, especially with regard to science. TDs are expected

A. Historically, the Age of Enlightenment started in the 18th century and is still going. At its core was a critical questioning of traditional institutions, customs, and morals, and a strong belief in rationality and science. Personally I think astrology is anti-enlightenment. It us based on superstition and lies, distortions and deludes.

A. "Age of Enlightenment" and "The Enlightenment" refer particularly to the intellectual and philosophical developments of that age (and their impact in moral and social reform), in which Reason was advocated as the primary source and basis of authority. Developing in Germany, France and Britain, the movement spread through much of Europe, including Russia and Scandinavia. The signatories of the American Declaration of Independence, the United States Bill of Rights and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen were motivated by "Enlightenment" principles (although the English Bill of Rights predates the era).

A. The 'Salon movement' in pre-Revolution Paris. Women invited such 'philosophes' as Voltaire and Rousseau into their homes to discuss philosophical issues which turned out to have more cultural and political impact on the society of the day. The Age of Enlightenment was well underway before it was discovered by those residing in North America.

The Age of Enlightenment (or simply the Enlightenment or Age of Reason) was an elite cultural movement of intellectuals in 18th century Europe that sought to mobilize the power of reason in order to reform society and advance knowledge. It promoted intellectual interchange and opposed intolerance and abuses in church and state. Originating about 1650–1700, it was sparked by philosophers Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677), John Locke (1632–1704), Pierre Bayle (1647–1706), mathematician Isaac Newton (1643–1727) and Voltaire (1694–1778). Ruling princes often endorsed and fostered figures and even attempted to apply their ideas of government. The Enlightenment flourished until about 1790–1800, after which the emphasis on reason gave way to Romanticism's emphasis on emotion and a Counter-Enlightenment gained force.
