Why did the men of this era, 1600-1770, call the age the

Enlightenment?(5) During this age of the Enlightment

because the men at this ear felt they were "Enlightned"

group. They believed they were coming to grips with the

age old problem of humans. THey had the beliefs that

they had come closer to any other age to figure out how

the universe and man worked and how to live more

resonably and a good life. Why is it sometimes referred

to as the Age of Reason?(5)

Between the 1600-1700's the

Age of Reason was the name this era was called because,

because most of the great thinkers nd educated men of

this time thought that the universe and world was

logical, rational, and reasonable, and this could

stablilize or a man's modern passions and actions. What

accounts for its sometimes being called the

Neo-Classical Age?

(5) The Neo-Classical Ago was the

period in which most of the writers of this time

believed the classics of Greece and Rome were the models

for all good writing. They believed their duty was to

"make the old new again". If a writer attempted a

radically new form his writing was often critically

rejected. How was this period both anxious and

optimistic at the same time?

(5) There were two

different accounts of anxiety and optimism. The optimism

account for man's belief that human behavior could be

moderated or changed if everyone followed the laws of

nature, which was viewed as rational and logical. The

anxiety comes when a result of seeing, time after time,

that man does not always act as a rational and logical

creature.
