Enlightenment (ma’rifatparvarlik).
This term characterizes the development of science and 
arts and the triumph of reason over ignorance in the 17th and 18th centuries. Enlighteners were 
given this name because they considered enlightenment to be the only means by which
reorganization of society could be brought about. The enlighteners wanted to bring knowledge, that 
is “light” to the people.
