**__ The BIG Idea- Super Summary __** -Julia Dziubinski

The Enlightenment was a movement that took place in the 1700s. It was when people finally started to figure out that using logic and reasoning could help improve the society of their world. John Locke was an Enlightenment thinker who thought that people should have natural rights like equality or liberty. Another ‘movement’ of a sort taking place at this time was the Scientific Revolution. This was intertwined with the Enlightenment because they both dealt with people coming up with new ideas about the world and how to manage it. In fact, they were pretty much the same thing, just with different names. All of the growing impact of the Enlightenment and the Science Revolution had a large impact on government leaders. In the end, the Enlightenment continues to influence the way we live and run the world today.

He started the field of calculus and started the three laws of motion. He also found that what goes up must come down. Today the Enlightenment effects everything around us. Newton found the laws of motion, calculus, and gravity. Galileo and Kepler were also great scientist who started astronomy. Without the Enlightenment we wouldn’t have all this knowledge.
