the Enlightenment started about 1600 with the Scientific Revolution (SR) of Galileo,
Descartes and Newton.
SR's message of relativity, subjectivity and rationality clearly extended beyond
the scientific into the human.
Philosophers did not grasp a button of this message and deformed it,
paving the way to the anti-Enlightenment reaction of "idealist" irrational
balderdash culminating in the fatuous Great German Idealism, which in turn
lead to Nazism and Gulag.
It's by far too short a description of an enormous phenomenon and, if requested,
I can elaborate.
