Özet:

Perhaps the period in the history of humanity which the transition from community life to society occurred most rapidly is the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment movement, especially in the West, revolutionized but it did not have the same level of influence everywhere in the world. This is because, while the West was experiencing the darkness of the Middle Ages, the East was at the peak of science and technology. In the West, the movement that began with the Enlightenment gained strength with modernity and its effects have continued to the present day. Therefore, the concept of the Enlightenment is probably the most significant intellectual movement that has emerged from ancient Greece to the present day for the West. Despite the positive outcomes of the Enlightenment from a Western perspective, there have also been some negative consequences, such as breaking with tradition and rendering ancient institutions ineffective. Ultimately, the Enlightenment movement fell short of attempting assassination, some traditional institutions have survived to this day, and community-type social structures have continued to exist. However, traditional structures have also undergone changes and have undergone significant transformation.
