The French Enlightenment was a time of upheaval, and its main philosophers espoused ideas that challenged the traditional social and religious order. To unpack that concept, we'll explore the following questions:

- Why did Diderot expect his encyclopedia to be criticized?
- How does the Marquis de Condorcet help secularize the Augustinian view of history?
