Hello Again, so, this is the exact same assignment you just completed for me, but my Professor said that he couldn’t accept the paper you wrote because it did NOT utilize the source material from our class that I sent you. I will attach the paper you wrote, can I please get a re-write. This time please use the source material I am attaching only.

To distinguish the 1700s from the Reformation Era before it, which was still an “age of faith” like the medieval era, scholars have variously named the 1700s. The most famous label –the “Enlightenment Era”– wisely sidesteps an issue raised by the other names, which is this essay’s focus: Was the Enlightment primarily an “age of reason” or was it instead or also an “age of sentiment,” or feeling? Do our readings and sources recommend one of these labels more than the other, or can they be harmonized instead of opposed?

Answer preview

The eighteenth-century is widely seen by many people as the period of enlightenment, considering society was increasingly shifting towards reason as opposed to basing their ideas solely on faith and religion, a common phenomenon during the Reformation era. Besides getting denoted as the enlightenment era, the eighteen century also received numerous other names depicting the shift from the Reformation era and welcoming in a new era. As such, this paper will provide an analysis of the eighteenth century, specifically focusing on answering the question of whether the enlightenment period was predominantly an age of reason or age of feeling or sentiment.
