"Today the Enlightenment is often viewed as a historical anomaly, a brief moment when a number of thinkers infatuated with reason vainly supposed that the perfect society could be built on common sense and tolerance"

The Enlightenment was mostly centered around the 18th century. It was developed in quite a few countries in Europe such as Germany, Great Britain, France, and where I'm from, the Netherlands =). The Enlightenment was a set of ideas. It was also known as the "Age of Reason" because this was a time when people used their reason to discover the world.
