Assignment:

The question: What was the Enlightenment according to Dorinda Outram? Was it a single unified reform movement or a diverse movement reflecting different and sometimes conflicting views?

1) Begin by briefly summarizing Peter Gay's view in the 1960s and then identify the ways in which Outram's interpretation is different.

2) What changed during the 18th Century with respect to the social context in which Enlightenment ideas were produced and marketed? [Include in your answer the important new political force that emerged from this change.]

3) Why were race and gender such difficult issues for the Enlightenment?

4) In what ways did the relationship between science and religion change during the 18th Century as a result of the Enlightenment? [Be sure to include Newton and Newtonianism.]

5) What was the new religious idea spreading during the 18th Century that Outram considers the Enlightenment's "most important legacy" to later centuries? Why was it so difficult for rulers to implement this reform?

6) In what ways did the efforts by Thomas Jefferson to draft a proposal for a new form of government in the U. S. reflect the divisions and contradictions within the Enlightenment?

Your answer must use and cite the lecture notes in addition to the Outram book. Since this is an exam over the assigned material, if you use information from other sources I will assume you haven't read the required reading and reduce your grade.
