Enlightenment
philosophy then intensified the Industrial Revolution by changing the British
political system and guiding its deliberations. It was responsible, at least in part, for
bringing mercantilism to an end and replacing it with a more open and
competitive economic system.

As time went on, however, and the truths of scientific research and
exploration showed themselves time and time again, the collective perspective
of the population began to shift away from religious dogma toward the logical
scientific method.

 The Enlightenment gained traction in the 17th century, and more emphasis
was given to scientific techniques in the schools, as well as to the separation
of religious and scientific data. Religious philosophies also became less
rooted in the exact words of the Catholic Church, as papal authority gave way
in many European countries to splinter groups of Christianity, such as the
Calvinists, Lutherans, and other types of Protestants.

 Major figures of the Enlightenment period include Voltaire, Isaac
Newton, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam
Smith, Immanuel Kant, and Thomas Jefferson. These and many other great thinkers
of the era influenced mass social upheaval in pursuit of equality and human
rights, and many historians consider the culmination of these efforts to have been the French
Revolution of 1789.
