Every era has its dark side.
The Enlightenment ended with the bloody dictatorship of the Jacobins and the guillotine gone wild. Erotomania became a virtue and famous erotomaniacs, such as Casanova, enjoyed all-European fame. It was unfashionable to have children, and they were sent to orphanages, where they were allowed to die peacefully. Jean-Jacques Rousseau sent all his legitimate children to an orphanage, but at the same time wrote the novel "Emile", which raises important issues of free, harmonious upbringing of a person in the era of the Age of Reason.
The shadow of the era follows in the footsteps of the Age of Enlightenment. And it is not customary to speak openly about this dark side.
