We present the season finale of the modern philosophy series and on this occasion we will review the apogee of modern political philosophy through four fundamental thinkers: Voltaire, Diderot, Montesquieu and Rousseau. These authors were the pinnacle of the Age of Enlightenment and their work was an indispensable antecedent that led to the French Revolution. However, enlightened reason would take a violent course with the outcome of the revolution in the Age of Terror.
