American Enlightenment: The Reconciliation Between Liberty And Religion , The Triumph Of Action

Authors : Belilita Abdelhakim .

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to shed light on the American Enlightenment which was a period of intellectual ferment in the 13 American colonies of 1714-1818, which led to the American Revolution and the establishment of the American Republic. American enlightenment influenced European enlightenment in the eighteenth century and its Indo-American philosophy. He applied scientific reasoning to politics, science and religion. And promoted religious tolerance. Literature, art and music have been restored as important disciplines worthy of study in colleges. American-style colleges have been established as a "new model" like King's College in New York (now Columbia University) and Philadelphia College (now Benn). Yale College and William and Mary College have been reformed. Non-sectarian moral philosophy has replaced theology in many university programs. Even unstable colleges such as New Jersey College (Princeton University) and Harvard University have reformed their curricula to include natural philosophy (science), modern astronomy, and mathematics.
