Objective:
* Identify the roles that censorship and salons played in the spread of new ideas
* Describe how the Enlightenment affected the arts and literature
* Understand how philosophes influenced enlightened despots
* Explain why Enlightenment ideas were slow to reach most Europeans
Rationale:
The study of early philosophes can help students to understand the philosophical underpinnings of the world in which we live today. More specifically, the study of political philosophers, such as Locke, Hobbes, Montesquieu and Voltaire, can help students to understand the specific ramifications a political philosophy can have on the rights they are granted as citizens.
Evidence:
By listing and explaining specific beliefs to specific philosophes, students will demonstrate a basic understanding of where current rights of citizens and limitations of government began.
