Enlightenment also gave birth to the modern republican ideals who led to the creation of the [[File:Frencons.png]] Society of the Friends of the Constitution, from which originated [[File:Jack.png]] [[Jacobinism]], the predominant political force in the French revolution. Jacobinism later would form the basic blocks of [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]].

 

They also had a child with [[File:Farm.png]] [[Agrarianism]] called [[File:Physiocracypix.png]] [[Physiocracy]], who would in turn become the parent of [[File:Georgist.png]] [[Georgism]].

 

==Variants==

Kant's Epistemology and Metaphysics are infamously complex, so this will be a brief overview. Kant made the claim that there are three main categories through which we experience the world, Intuition, Understanding, and Reason. Intuition is sensory impressions that are given to us by objects outside our understanding. Reason is what allows us to make logical destination's based of these sensory impressions. Understanding is the facility that allows us to comprehend things without having to infer them from intuition.

 

Kant argued that in order to maintain human freedom, we must all seek a society in which it is possible to live free and rational lives. He called this state a ''Rechtsstaat,'' or a Republic governed by law. The sole purpose of this state was to maximize the possibility of human autonomy.

 

==== Epistemology and Metaphysics ====

Descartes thinks that at least once in our lives, we must doubt nearly everything we know, in order to arrive at certain knowledge. He thinks that we can doubt Nearly everything, our scenes, the existence of God, even the truth of mathematics. However, the one thing we can not doubt is that we are thinking thing that exists, or that "I think therefor I am."

Descartes didn't speak often on ethics or political philosophy. In terms of ethics, this was because he wanted to have a more cretin foundation in Metaphysics before he really got started building an ethical system. He refrained from speaking on politics becuse he thought such things should be mostly dealt with by Kings and those who they appointed as magistrates.

 

 

 

'''Diderotianism''' is a set of theories developed by the French philosopher and writer of the [[file:Enlightenment.png]] [[Enlightenment Philosophy|Enlightenment]] era Denis Diderot. He is best known for being a co-founder of the first encyclopedia along with [[file:Alembert.png]] [[Encyclopédisme|Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert]]

Like his other contemporaries, Diderot promoted [[file:Antthe.png]] [[Antitheism|antitheism]] and [[File:Materialism.png]] [[Materialism|materialism]].

He also developed proto-evolutionary ideas and it could be said he was the predecessor of [[file:Darwin.png]] [[Darwinism|Darwin]].

 

==== Metaphysics ====

Hegel claimed that everything that exists is in the process of becoming something else. He believed history itself was in the process of change, through a dialectical process of opposing ideas, through which would emerge the new synthesis of a single idea, making the old binary distinction irreverent. He thought this process would continue until finally, we arrive at the point when all subjects would realize that only one thing exists, the mind itself.
