The wedge the Enlightenment drove between peoples religious beliefs and beliefs about the world was the source of all human progress for the past 300 years. Even "believers" today do not actually believe that their religious beliefs are the proper way to understand everyday life. They do not ask their church why objects fall, or whether they should eat certain foods. This wedge is the only reason different faiths can coexist - they just apply their beliefs to a 'spiritual' world,not life.

its ignorant to seperate religion and enlightenment.. those that truly know enlightenment know not 2 be close minded, thats the whole point of being enlightened.

[timetochilli]

we need another enlightenment

Perhaps wordsoftheworld could include some videos covering

words appearing in Shakespeare's plays.

I was looking for a moto to use, 'AUDE SAPERE" is excellent thanks. All your channels are xcellent.

[wordsoftheworld]

@homousios thanks for that!

[mateusgaspari]

It`s just me or Jean Jacques Rousseau looks a little like L. Messi?

In time: one of the best channels for sure. I`m even improving my english (btw, sorry about any misspelling, my english is a little rusty).

[wordsoftheworld]

@mateusgaspari thanks... we think it's getting better as more videos are added!

[rollsthepaul]

Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.

I must say that i'm very impressed with this video and the entire channel.

Its very in-depth and educational, it provides good information and is not at all superficial as sometimes is the case with youtube videos. Very pleasant to watch.

I'm looking forward to more videos in the future. Bravo!

[wordsoftheworld]

@Petsrock Thank you - make sure you tell your online friends (unless they prefer the superficial stuff)!

[robertdunsmore]

This clip stops at an interesting point. Please do a video on Imperialism.

[wordsoftheworld]

@robertdunsmore will suggest that to the team!

Enlightenment is still going on in the World (of the peoples, languages, nations, and multitudes) with bitter opponents to understanding, knowledge, wisdom, and council. Better to have knowledge than to face the abusive people and ignorant people who are thieves and monsters; we need information in a world of selfish behavior that only serves itself; we need council in knowing that our own viewpoints needs outside perspectives; we need understanding in all things including higher meanings.

Did I spot a book called "Man, Beast and Zombie" behind Professor Marks there?

Way to rack up the geek points! :D

And thanks for another brilliant topic! Keep up the good work!

[CoolMinty]

Thank you for yet another informative and interesting video. I learned alot from it and find it interesting, especially as a scientist ;p

[FaintSnow]

Very enlightening indeed.

2:02 - Sapere Aude, other way around =p.

[cuntylishus]

@FaintSnow Actually, syntax and word order are less important in Latin than they are in other languages because it's so heavily inflected. 'Aude sapere' means exactly the same thing as 'sapere aude'.

[LogInAnders]

As the most enlightened of all philosophers - Schopenhauer - would've said: "This video is clearly gay and therefore retarded."

[prospero021]

Very enlightening! Thanks for the awesome videos. Keep up the good work!

[TadRaunch]

This YouTube channel is bringing me enlightenment. :) hope I am using the word correctly, haha

[HotZetiGer]

I thought human Enlightenment started when slavery was banned?

[engelteir]

[wordsoftheworld]

@engelteir glad you liked it... I think all the University of Nottingham academics are cute!
