Part 3 of "Reinventing the World - 500 years of the Reformation" examines the parallels between the 18th century and today. Enlightenment thinkers are juxtaposed to modern-day activists, such as the writer Laurie Penny and the architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel. The age of enlightenment dawned in Europe in the 18th century. People began to believe that humanity holds the key to creating a better world. Among them was Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the philosopher and mathematician, who posited the idea that humankind lives in the best of all possible worlds, and are rational beings capable of bringing order to chaos. In this episode we also explore the life and times of German playwright Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and French revolutionary Olympe de Gouges. In the 17th century - the century of the Enlightenment - the new faith in reason laid the foundations for modern, western society. Today, nearly 300 years after Leibniz lived, the digital age is seen by many as the fulfillment of the dream of the enlightened individual. But is reason enough? This episode’s present-day protagonists include feminist blogger Laurie Penny and architect and visionary Van Bo Le-Mentzel. They speak about hope, happiness and whether knowledge of different cultures is enough for peace to prevail.
