Answer: The Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, was an intellectual and cultural movement in the eighteenth century that emphasized reason over superstition and science over blind faith. ... Rationalism is the idea that humans are capable of using their faculty of reason to gain knowledge.

All I know about that, I'm not much of a help in this question, but thx for the points, XD!!!
