Your grades thank you too as you have somehow sought an explanation that you could both understand/ remember and assimilate. That said, being that you are young, don't take too much stock in those grades as a reflection of your knowledge, you need them for university applications but knowledge is when it's your truth to share with others as the gentleman in this video. So, my point? Enjoy those grades but find your knowledge that you wish to exchange others, whether this subject or another, and be that help for others as others were for you
Thank you ! Really good bite-sized lesson. I'll watch your other videos for a better understanding of western culture. I think that a lot of people don't really know what makes the western culture so special although not perfect and are not able to be grateful to live in such cultural environment. That is knowledge I think is good to share with my kids. Thank you. Ludovic (Reunion island) 😉
I discovered this channel not too many days ago but I kinda like it. I mean yeah he lacks the guns of CGI but he has content, quality ones. I really appreciate you giving these explainations in a smooth manner. (P.S. I subscribed to this channel and also the other two players - John Green of CrashCourse and Tom Richey.)
The whole content is excellent but I never knew before that both the declaration of independence and American constitution are outcome of the age of reason also known as enlightenment. That's great!
I am currently reading “The Visit of the Royal Physician” by Per Olov Enquist (1999) and wanted to know the main ideas of the “enlightenment”; I found your video really valuable to understand this period in European history. Thanks for your succinct description!
I am a man of letters. Principally TY 🙂 This is a great introduction to the Age of Reason. I find videos on the subject are underrepresented on UA-cam.
Very good introduction! Is it true they've erased the Enlightenment from most American high school books? Couldn't find it a few years back in most of them. How did we let that happen? America WAS considered the first incarnation of Enlightenment principles throughout the world.
America is a relatively new country. It's foundations were laid upon by ideas that are all presented by philosophers of the enlightenment. We started it all with that, and that's why America kicks ass :)
When I've read the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and then compared it to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen I noticed something. In the Declaration of Independence the first right listed is the right to life. In the Declaration of the Rights of Man the word "life" doesn't even appear. In the Bill of Rights the guarantee of religious "exercise" is listed while in the Declaration of the Rights of Man religious "opinion" is listed with certain preconditions for even that. Would it be plausible to say there were two strains of the Enlightenment? One that took place in America, and the other in France?
hey Paul, whenever I find myself swiming in the ocean I come directly to ask for your help on UA-cam and it does really serve me, so thank u really for the effort you made to help us as learners of Civilisation in general. I do have one question please: '' why didn't you mention Thomas Hobben?'' The teacher of civilisation module had mentioned that he was one of the two famous thinkers at that time...
How the Western scientific philosophy of enlightenment is different from the Eastern Philosophy of Enlightenment like that of Buddha and others today? Which way is better for self-awakening and human social evolution?
Hello sir. Hope you are best of health. We usually opt european history for our competetive exam. So can you clearly assemble all lectures of European history in Playlist so that I could easily find them.i ll request you to elaborate the topics so they may help me in my exam.
In India for clearing Goverment jobs we have to study these topics in depth . You can take help of Indian Teachers video available on UA-cam and you can cover enlightenment in more depth and simplified manner...
I like it from your point of view, but I am more interesting if this objective mathematical reasoning is kept within the spheres of objective sound or concrete realities, existed in our World as principles that leads-- by using the same mathematical reasoning--to sound conclusion.
The American colonials were fervent readers of the French Enlightenment writers mid to late 18C, especially Voltaire, regarding clerical oppression, Montesquieu on laws and Rousseau. James Madison called Montesquieu's "Spirit of the Laws" "the oracle always referred to" in The Federalist Papers: the debates over the Constitution - whether we should have one and what should be in it, published in newspapers at the time. And Voltaire's "Treatise on Tolerance", "Philosophical Dictionary" and "Commentary on Beccaria" were among the works most republished in magazine and newspaper excerpts from the 1760s on (among other pieces).
Well, today I have an Exam about English Culture II (Industrial revolution, french rev., american rev., enlightment, etc.) I will come back to tell you how well it went. Thanks for such a good explanation! greetings from #Arg
Not a bad bite-sized bit, but I think it’s important to mention the irony of those foundational documents considering the dispossessed native populations and the enslaved.
The people who put dislikes on Mr. Paul's videos are haters and people who don't want to learn. If that's you, get a life. If not, then change your dislike to a like.
From where I'm sitting, "so in a way our entire society in the United States comes from this one period ", ignores the influences that predate the "Enlightenment", As one example, Human Rights were born in ancient Greece, and the American Constitution protects the rights of the ruling class, Whites, Blacks and Native Americans rights were trivialized, My Two Cents!
The enlightenment seems like the very privileged and very educated got together in relatively small groups and made Existential decisions for the rest of us. They’ve been hoarding information for them and their offspring every since. I think the key to a better society is transparency and education. Our entire human experience has been limited because some rich fools decided that keeping us small was the best way to control us. I hope we can genetically engineer that poison out of our dna at some point .
The Enlightenment is what produced the scientific method that allows for genetic manipulation. Is dieting the enlightenment is when you started having people argue that all people are actually equal and that power shouldn’t rest in the hands of a small group of people it sounds to me like you have no idea what the hell youre talking about.
The Enlightenment was a brief moment of sanity between the Dark Ages when our rulers burned witches at the stake and today when our rulers worship Satan!

working with the enlightenment in swedish class, a big presentation. now I feel much better than before. thank you so much for this!
Love your videos. Ugh. I almost lost faith in finding videos where I could begin to comprehend, but you've really saved the day!
Thank you so much for this, for a 6 minute video it was in depth and easy to understand.
You are welcome. I try to get to the point quickly. No use wasting your time as I ramble on about things. Keep watching!

Guys, This 6 mins video save my midterm. I gave him a subscribe !!!
This video was extremely helpful. Had to write a short essay wouldn't been able to do so if not for your video. Thanks
This helped me get my first A in social studies.
Very informative Mr. Paul! Will look forward to other topics explained by you!
You are a genius sir! Thank you for making this quick, easy and simple to understand.
I’m not American, I’m watching for the English class, this video help me so much! Thanks Paul!
Being this course in my Indian curriculum makes it tough to get. Thanks for this video.
I laughed so hard when John Locke from Lost popped on the screen 😂
His comedy hits well in comparison to some other UA-cam teachers.
Lmfaoo
im not even a student of the american curriculum but knowledge unites all :)

You rock dude, I seriously wish you were my history teacher. Thanks for the help! : )
Who's here doin History or RE?
Love your videos. I use them in my World History Class.
+Elaine Bianchi Thanks. I hope the kids like them.
Super helpful. I think my students are going to like it! Thanks!
I really learned a lot w this video!!!! Really helpfull for my regent tomorrow!!🌏
I am a man of letters. Principally TY 🙂 This is a great introduction to the Age of Reason. I find videos on the subject are underrepresented on UA-cam.
great general explanation of understanding, thank you
looked through several sites and none of them explained as good as you did! Thank you for this!
This was more informative than all of what was taught in high school.
Straight to the essence ! Thank you !

Gk Noy i learned about the enlightenment not too many years back
Great video colleague, but you're missing Kant and Hegel and the great influence of German Idealism in the whole enlightenment movement.
Simple. Educational. Excellent. Thanks!

The enlightenment wasn’t a unified thing. It varies in pretty much every country in Europe and across the Americas.

sir you are the enlightenment to my grades ;)
Thank you Paul!
Great work. I wish more people had interest in understanding this.
This is a great video. Bite size philosophy is where it's at.
How the Western scientific philosophy of enlightenment is different from the Eastern Philosophy of Enlightenment like that of Buddha and others today? Which way is better for self-awakening and human social evolution?
Eastern was centered around devotion and spirituality..whereas western had their centered around science and philosophy...the west clearly won.

How did the enlightenment impacted the the colonies?
The the Europeans had even more reasons to colonies and rule over other people. Because they were "enlightened" and knew the "right way" to rule.
The American colonials were fervent readers of the French Enlightenment writers mid to late 18C, especially Voltaire, regarding clerical oppression, Montesquieu on laws and Rousseau. James Madison called Montesquieu's "Spirit of the Laws" "the oracle always referred to" in The Federalist Papers: the debates over the Constitution - whether we should have one and what should be in it, published in newspapers at the time.

You should've replaced Rouseau's picture with a picture of the crazy french scientist girl from the island
Luca Cecchini from LOST?
Obviously
Pretty good video! Thanks Paul!
Haha, did anyone not catch the John Locke x Lost joke? Clever
Diderot looks like one of my family's friends XD

Content aside, that is a nice microphone you got there
the Magna Carta also influenced alot.
Love it. Subbed. Thank you.
Very well explained! Thumbs up from Brazil.
I'm using this as base knowledge to skim my college book
Exactly the same!
Nice, thank you.
The Enlightenment was a period full of philosophy.
The middle ages was replete of it. Ever heard of the scholastics?
From where I'm sitting, "so in a way our entire society in the United States comes from this one period ", ignores the influences that predate the "Enlightenment", As one example, Human Rights were born in ancient Greece, and the American Constitution protects the rights of the ruling class, Whites, Blacks and Native Americans rights were trivialized, My Two Cents!
