Question

This guided behavior, which Enlightenment thinkers believed to be true about all individuals, caused an absence of children in the era's writing because young people were believed to have none.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Enlightenment thinkers did not believe that young people had no behavior and therefore caused an absence of children in the era's writing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement presented in the question is false. Enlightenment thinkers did not believe that young people had no behavior and therefore caused an absence of children in the era's writing. The Enlightenment was a period of intellectual and philosophical movement in the 18th century, characterized by the belief in reason and the scientific method as the primary sources of knowledge. It promoted the idea that all individuals possess innate reasoning abilities and should be free to explore and express their thoughts. However, this belief did not lead to an absence of children in writing during that era.
