==In the [[18th century]] the philosophies of [[The Enlightenment]] began to have a dramatic effect, the landmark works of philosophers such as [[Immanuel Kant]] and [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]] influencing a new generation of thinkers. In the late 18th century a movement known as [[Romanticism]] sought to combine the formal rationality of the past, with a greater and more immediate emotional and organic sense of the world. Key ideas that sparked this change were [[evolution]], as postulated by [[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]], [[Erasmus Darwin]], and [[Charles Darwin]] and what might now be called [[emergent]] order, such as the [[free market]] of Adam Smith. Pressures for egalitarianism, and more rapid change culminated in a period of revolution and turbulence that would see philosophy change as well.
