Best of History Enlightenment Web Sites -- many of the links below are from this site.
 * Sources to use for research on the Enlightenment **:

Fordham University's Modern History Sourcebook on the Enlightenment Another link from Fordham University.

Scientific Revolution - detailed website on science, so only a few people of the Enlightenment would be found on this site.

A course from Washington State University; text is a little dense, but there's good information.

An extract from a book, "giving a readable and intelligent introduction to the" Enlightenment.

John Locke's latest song: John Locke Soft Rocke

Internet Public Library

Stumbled across this article on the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) website: Friends of Rousseau.

This website about John Locke was found by one of my students, Jill S. The same website, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, is an excellent source for other Enlightenment philosophers.

Talk Show Formats
The following links might help students get a sense of how an Enlightenment talk show might proceed.

//The Daily Show// with Jon Stewart on the Comedy Channel is a mock news program, but he actually often has very good guests who talk about substantive issues. This interview is with noted author Jon Meacham, who has won the Pulitzer __#|Prize__. The interview is about his book on Thomas Jefferson. Notice how Stewart immediately gets Meacham talking about the main thesis of the book. By the way, not only does the Enlightenment get mentioned in the interview but the Renaissance and William & Mary college do, too.

Here is a clip from a more traditional talk show, Meet the Press. This is a serious talk show that has been running forever, and top political leaders and analysts appear on it. Notice how the host keeps the conversation going by asking questions of the guests in their areas of expertise.

 * 1) ==** How could these two British philosophers think so differently about government & the role of the citizens?? **==
 * 2) ==** Why is the Age of Enlightenment also called the Age of Reason? How did that differ from the previous age, the Renaissance? **==
 * 3) ==** What effect will the Age of Reason have on the Absolute Monarchs of Europe? Will the effect of enlightened ideas such as Freedom, Equality & Brotherhood eventually reach the lower class & what will it mean? **==
 * Humans have the ability to reason & that makes them unique
 * Reason can & should be applied to cure society's ailments
 * Using reason, people can cast off ideas of fear & superstition - reject unfair governments
 * Humans are naturally governed by laws of nature
 * Governments should reflect the natural law & educate citizens - so they can debate/question-solve societies __problems__
