BBC NEWS | Magazine | The spiritual journey: "People are losing their sense of spirituality and should contemplate more and do less, says Brian Walden in his weekly opinion column.
The Enlightenment was a European intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th Centuries in which Britain played a leading role. Its central message was that it was by the power of reason that man understands the universe. That idea goes back to Greek philosophers, particularly Socrates. It gained strong support among the educated and caused dramatic changes in politics, philosophy and the arts."
