What was forbidden were the books that contradicted the dogma, like science books of ohilosophy books in the Catholic countries. The Encyclopedia was forbidden in Spain for this reason. Having one was a crime and only few people had one, introduced smuggled. <br /><br />Bye!Paqui Pérez Fonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825244803602259869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968761101230823169.post-17651043592311782302015-11-08T16:57:54.353+01:002015-11-08T16:57:54.353+01:00Hello Lucía,

Gandhi's quote is one of my favourite ones and a guideline for my life. <br /><br />Here you have the corrections: <br /><br /> <br />– They used the <b>R</b>eason to learn and understand the world and improve it. Philosophers said <b>that they wanted to</b> "Eliminate the darkness of the world with the light<b>s</b> of reason". So they reject<b>ed</b> all that couldn't been explained (supersti<b>t</b>ions, traditions, revelations, miracles...)<br />– They were tolerant of religions. No religion was superior to another. But they thought that religions gave more problems than positive things.<br />– They <b>rejected</b> the authority principle, this means not to do things that always have been done <b>only because it was traditional or someone ordered it</b>.<br />– They considered education the most important thing.<br />– They criti<b>ci</b>zed absolut<b>e</b> monarchies and defen<b>ded</b> freedom of all the human beings.<br />– They considered knowledge as the basis of happiness and they were very optimistic.<br />After that, the class has <b>started straying</b>. We have started to speak about Spain and the similarities between <b>the present/current</b> world and the Enlightenment. We think that education should be free or ch<b>ea</b>per, like in France or Denmark, and make the economy a little easier. You can change a kilo of potatoes <b>for</b> a kilo of tomatoes, or maybe <b>another person</b> can repair your piping(s) in <b>ex</b>change <b>for</b> painting his house. I don't know, we can do many things better but no one tr<b>ies to do</b> it. Maybe the way is to pay more taxes (but not stupid taxes), like Paqui <b>has</b>said hahaha.<br />And at the end, Paqui has started explaining <b>the E</b>ncyclopedia.<br />Before Enlightenment, th<b>ese</b> books were forbidden because the Church thought they were dangerous. Knowledge "was dangerous". But in 18th century, Denis Diderot and Jean Rond D'Alembert <b>issued </b> the first <b>E</b>ncyclopedia <b>in France</b>in 1751 with 35 volumes, asking philosophers and scientis<b>ts</b> for advice. <br /><br />NEW VOCABULARY:<br />TAX FRA<b>U</b>D: Fraude fiscal.<br />TIME BANK: Banco de(l) tiempo.<br /><br />That's all.
