Age of Enlightenment
•Roger
Chartier - "This movement [from the intellectual to the
cultural/social] implies casting doubt on two ideas: first,
that practices can be deduced from the discourses that
authorize or justify them; second, that it is possible to translate
the terms of an explicit ideology the latent meaning of social
mechanisms.”
•First:
questioning of information passed down as authoritative
•Second:
questioning if the information passed down should be used to govern
social and cultural mores
