Answer to Question #138938 in History for Robin

Question

Suppose the Enlightenment had sought evidence of the similarities among humankind. What might have been the consequences for society of that search?

Answer 1

Individualistic humanism is one of the consequences for society. Learning and education thrived due to enlightenment, and during those ages, very few people knew how to read and write. Only a few people had a chance to access education in the 1500s and 1600s. IT brought out many individual opinions that were unhealthy for society. Secondly, violent democracy is another consequence of the community. Due to enlightenment, there was a resurgence in the cultural and societal studies among the Greeks, Romans, and the Renaissances' leadership styles. It promoted violent democracy. Lastly, skeptical, secular naturalism is another consequence to society. Before enlightenment was brought, religion was quiet and running smoothly, but immediately after its introduction, there was error-filled religion, which brought about opposition to religion.
