Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le mot Lumières définit métaphoriquement le mouvement intellectuel, culturel et philosophique qui a dominé, en Europe et particulièrement en France, le XVIIIe siècle auquel il a donné, par extension, son nom de siècle des Lumières. Les Lumières ont marqué le domaine des idées et de la littérature par leurs remises en question fondées sur la «raison éclairée» de l'être humain et sur l'idée de liberté. Par leurs engagements contre les oppressions religieuses, morales et politiques, les membres de ce mouvement, qui se voyaient comme une élite avancée ouvrant pour un progrès du monde, combattant l'irrationalité, la superstition et la tyrannie des siècles passés, ont procédé au renouvellement du savoir, de l'éthique et de l'esthétique de leur temps. Leur rôle a été déterminant dans les grands évènements de la fin du XVIIIe siècle que sont la Révolution française et la déclaration d'indépendance des États-Unis d'Amérique. 3, record 1, French, - Lumi%C3%A8res
