what did the philosophes hope to accomplish

Sagot :

The  philosophes were Enlightenment era intellectuals, who held reasoning as the pinnacle of human activity. They used reason to critically evaluate the society of their time (e.g. Volltaire's satire Candide, and Rousseau's criticism of the arts "Discourse on the Arts and Science"). In summary, the philosphes employed reason in their pursuit of knowledge.
