Verlichting is the Dutch word for “Enlightenment.” It refers to the intellectual and philosophical movement that emerged in Europe during the late 17th and 18th centuries. The Enlightenment emphasized reason, individualism, and skepticism of traditional authority, including the church and monarchy. Thinkers of this period advocated for human rights, scientific inquiry, and the pursuit of knowledge. Key figures include philosophers such as John Locke, Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant. The movement significantly influenced various areas, including politics, ethics, and education, leading to major societal changes like the American and French Revolutions.
