Answer:

Reason, nature, happiness, progress, liberty & freedom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason: divine force; makes humans human; destroys intolerance

Nature: good and reasonable; nature's laws govern the universe

Happiness: achieved if you live by nature's laws; don't have to wait for heaven

Progress: society will always go forward and improve; like science, society will be perfected

Liberty & Freedom: French philosophers envious of English freedoms; wanted personal freedom in speech, jobs, religion, trade and travel
