What period saw a major outburst of innovations in philosophy?

  1. Baroque

  2. Enlightenment

  3. Gothic

  4. Romantic

The correct answer is: Enlightenment

The period known as the Enlightenment, also referred to as the Age of Reason, saw a major outburst of innovations in philosophy. During this time, thinkers and philosophers placed a strong emphasis on reason, logical thinking, and individualism, which led to various breakthroughs in philosophical thought. Options such as Baroque, Gothic, and Romantic do not refer to periods specifically known for their advancements in philosophy. The Baroque period was characterized by ornate and extravagant artistic expression, while the Gothic period was known for its grand and imposing architecture. The Romantic period, on the other hand, was focused on emotions, imagination, and nature. None of these options align with the major outburst of innovations in philosophy that occurred during the Enlightenment.
