Aufklärung (Ger., ‘Enlightenment’). A movement of thought which appeared in a particularly clear-cut form in 18th-cent. Germany. It combined opposition to all supernatural religion and belief in the sufficiency of human reason with a desire to promote human happiness in this life. One of its ideals was religious toleration. See also ENLIGHTENMENT.
