. During the Age of Enlightenment, people really started to value reason and science over tradition and superstition. There were big developments in philosophy, with thinkers like John Locke and Voltaire pushing ideas about individual rights and freedom of thought. Plus, advancements in science, like Newton's laws of motion, changed how we understood the world.

. The Enlightenment was all about questioning the status quo. Major developments included the rise of democratic ideas and the push for human rights. You had guys like Rousseau talking about the social contract, and that laid the groundwork for modern democracy. Also, the printing press helped spread these ideas far and wide, making it easier for people to share and discuss new thoughts.
