Question

what was the contrlbutlon of philosopher in France revolution

Answer 1

French philosophers were instrumental in the French revolution. Writers such as Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Diderot, Locke, etc were the essentially the backbone of the revolution. Even though they wrote many of their works before 1789 and during the absolute monarchy of France, they heavily influenced the intellectuals and elite of France when censorship was common. Basically, the ideologies of the French philosophers was the basis of the French Revolution. The ironic part is that France supported the American Revolution, a revolution that was a result of these french philosophers (at the time France was still a monarchy). The french revolution was a huge separation between the Church and State, and French society became secular (only by extreme force and terror, which you can thank Robespierre for). Weddings during revolutionary France were civil, and not held in Churches and for example, homosexuals gained considerably more rights, and there was more and more free speech.
