The Enlightenment was an intellectual and philosophical movement that dominated the world of ideas in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its thinkers believed in individual liberty, religious tolerance, opposition to absolute monarchy and the dogmas of the Church, and an emphasis on the scientific method and the primacy of reason.   The Enlightenment overturned many then traditional ideas about politics, science, arts, law, economics and many other fields – but at the centre of their project was a slew of revolutionary ideas about learning. Donald pinpoints a group of enlightenment thinkers who had particularly interesting things to say about how we learn and how we ought to learn, many of which speak to central issues of our own time.   ---------- The Enlightenment & Learning – 1:02 John Locke (1632-1704) – 10:26 Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) – 19:33 Adam Smith (1723-1790) – 34:02 Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) – 43:15 Richard Lovell Edgeworth (1744-1817) & Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) – 1:00:58 Summing up – 1:09:48 ----------   The Blog that started it all: http://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/2020/08/100-learning-theorists-2500-years-of.html   Locke bit.ly/2tDzFAR Rousseau bit.ly/37rHEzq Smith bit.ly/2RvBM2F Wollstonecraft bit.ly/2tTi4Vq Edgeworths (2) bit.ly/2S1FM9Y   Contact Donald Twitter: @DonaldClark LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donald-clark-04553022/ Blog: http://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/ Read Donald's latest book, Learning Experience Design https://www.amazon.co.uk/Learning-Experience-Design-Create-Effective/dp/1398602620/ref=asc_df_1398602620/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=500792593882&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8463523561401709872&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006565&hvtargid=pla-1245069293197&psc=1&th=1&psc=1   Contact John Helmer Twitter: @johnhelmer LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhelmer/ Website: http://johnhelmerconsulting.com/   Download the new white paper from Learning Pool written by John Helmer & Ben Betts – Suite Dreams: The Past, Present and Future of Learning Systems https://learningpool.com/suite-dreams/
