The resulting value-system emphasized ______________________ and ___________ as the two main values supporting (and sometimes conflicting with) CRITICAL THINKING. At the cutting edge of Enlightenment thought, these two values paid off in a deep resentment of the institutions of Christianity, leading to secularism, Humanism, Deism, and utopianism as responses to perceived oppression. With its emphasis on human possibility, the Enlightenment tended to promote a PERSPECTIVE of ________________. &

In fact, the Enlightenment is more than a cluster of events: it has become an analytical tool used to classify the whole of human culture.

(Such a system of classification is dangerously ethnocentric: it always applies but may not incorporate all the data relevant to understanding a cultural matrix.) &
