Public intellectuals that questioned government and applied reason to thinking are called Enlightment philosophers.

During the Enlightment period, the absolut monarchies on the Ancient Regime were questioned and weakeaned due to the intervention of these thinkers. Enlightment philosophers aimed to introduce reason in society, and in turn, to overturn superstitions and/or religious dogmas.

At those times, the absolut king had in his hands all the powers of the state and governed a nation at his discretion. It was believed that those powers were legitimate because God directly had granted them to him. In opposition, the Enlighment thinkers introduced the first democratic concepts: social contract (the power of a state is held by the citizens who should transfer it to political representatives through suffrage), the division of powers (three branches of goverment: legislative, executive and judiciary, in order to prevent authoritarism), etc. These new principles directly threatened the pillars of the governments of the authoritarian kings, and brought reason to the political sphere.

background

early european explorers to the americas likely experienced emotions including awe at the vast "new" environment, amazement at meeting "others," the thrill of the unknown, concern for personal safety, desire for personal reward, and longing for their homeland and those left behind. written and pictorial records attributed to europeans provide the bulk of the records of these early travels. impressions of natives as well as native impressions of europeans are frequently framed in the narratives of the explorers. examination of these records indicates the cautious and curious nature of first encounters.

significance

centuries of ignorance, prejudice, and opinions lacking evidence or scholarly research have tainted traditional views of the earliest meetings between native americans (first nations in canada) and europeans. students may come to recognize how the later period of continued exploration, settlement, and interaction was influenced by these early encounters from the st. lawrence river to georgia.
