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?

He believed that attaining freedom was a vital prerequisite to becoming enlightened, and as such, have the ability to use reason to guide their decision-making. Despite all these, Kant (1784) still believed that the people living through the eighteenth century were yet to get to the enlightened age but were rather living in the age of enlightenment. The main reason informing Kant’s position revolves around the fact that a lot of things still exist, which hampers people from enjoying the freedom to use their reason, especially when it comes to matters to do with religion. Besides Immanuel Kant, there are other scholars who have spoken extensively about enlightenment and what this period meant. One such individual was Francis Bacon, who was not only England’s Lord Chancellor but also a great believer in empirical science. In addition, he was also an avid campaigner of this form of science, characterized by experimentation and data-driven science, and as such was constantly urging England’s elites to approach nature not only to hunt but observe.
