Sociological question: what is the difference between enlightenment and modernity?

[Sheepdisease]

I'm not sure having done some reading, if you could please distinguish and list any references that would be extremely useful. Thank you very much.

Modernity is something which references a tool or an object and it's place in technological history.

Enlightenment is an approach to existence which is timeless.

 

That's my pre-coffee contribution to your thread. :cup:

 

 

I notice you posted this in Sociology, but I'm unaware of any research being done on this topic. Do you have articles which prompted your question? If not, I suggest this is a philosophical issue, not a sociological one.
