The Enlightenment Dream:
--Man is not born in a sinful, depraved state.
--The end of life is life itself: the good life on earth, not life after
death in heaven.
--Man is capable, guided solely by the light of reason and experience, of
perfecting life on earth.
--To accomplish this great goal, we must free our minds from the bonds of
ignorance and superstition and our bodies from the oppression of corrupt
social authorities.
The Paradox of the French
Revolution:
"The ideal the French
Revolution set before it was not merely a change in the French social
system but nothing short of the regeneration of the whole human race."
de Toqueville
"Terror is only justice:
prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue....To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to forgive
them is cruelty." Robespierre
The Political Compass:
Determine your own place on the political spectrum.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

The Enlightenment philosophes had argued that
the application of science and reason would lead to a better society for
all. Did the extraordinary changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution
represent progress? (Decide as a group whether your definition of progress
will be grounded in a classical liberal, radical liberal or socialist
political philosophy.)
Thesis: The Industrial Revolution came about due to a curious
coincidence of key factors. Technical advances in agricultural production
enabled a population boom at the very time that wood was growing scarce in
England. People had to turn to coal in order to heat their homes and
businesses, but the demand for coal required miners to go deeper and deeper
underground. An engine became necessary to pump out water that pooled in
mines: hence, the invention of the steam engine. Inventors quickly
developed a number of applications for the new engine which revolutionized
the means of production and created an industrial economy. Greedy
capitalists found a way to exploit millions of unemployed workers by hiring
them, at low wages, in factories with abject working conditions. Progress
was not achieved during the Industrial Revolution. The standard of living
did not rise for all, the social gap between the rich and poor widened ,
and a true political revolution never took place. Instead, capitalists used
new media techniques to divert the masses from workers from recognizing the
reality of their situation. A radical liberal reform movement emerged which
gave the lower class the illusion of political involvement while keeping
their minds ignorant and controlled.

Never
such innocence,
Never before or since,
As changed itself to past
Without a wordthe men
Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.
