【正确答案】正确答案:The Enlightenment is the movement of intellectual liberation that developed in Western Europe from the late 17th century to the late 18th century. Its central idea is the need for human reason to clear away the ancient superstition, prejudice, dogma and injustice. I think the Enlightenment spirit encourages the rational inquiry, humanitarian tolerance and the idea of universal human right. This spirit is found in the poems of Alexander Pope, such as Essays of Criticism and Essays on Man that upholds the principles of rationality, morality, balance, unity and order. It is also found in Henry Fielding"s The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling and The Life and Death of Jonathan Wild, the Great, which give a realistic presentation of life of the common people with flaws.
