  10. The Enlightenment • People began to think that the methods of studying natural science could/should be used to examine all aspects of life. • All things submitted to Rational, Critical, Scientific way of thinking- • Society, Politics, and Religion • Laws of human society could be discovered • With this info, there was an ability to make progress and improve these areas (STOP—THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS)
