The Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, fundamentally changed how people think about society. Some even thought that society itself could be remade into something based not on fealty to God and the king, but on the virtues of liberty, reason, and property. In this episode, the philosophy of the Enlightenment is discussed, in preparation for a deeper look at two very influential Utopian experiments of the era: The American Republic and the French Revolution.
