] Caroline --I finally have a purpose/use at the board!

Erin, to everything....and everyone.....there is a purpose on this board! Glad you made it over here!

And just one more thing, for the philosophy dummies, like me......

Are the "Age of Reason" and "the Age of Enlightenment" the
same concept, or are they two separate concepts that existed at the same time? They seem to be used interchangably, but somehow I have in my head tha the "Reason" is about Balance, and the "enlightenment" is about the inherant goodness of Man ....
