How did the evolution of the coffee house and the salon make the Enlightenment possible?
What will be an ideal response?
Both the coffee house and the salon provided a respectable venue for discussion of new ideas in a public forum. The coffee house additionally sold newspapers and pamphlets as well as providing a venue for business networking, joining joint-stock companies, and creating an intellectual environment of like-minded (and similarly classed) men. These were prevalent in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Vienna. The salon, however, predominant in Paris, gave a public venue for upper class women to participate in the intellectual and current events of the time. Upper class women would host parties and invite philosophes to come and discuss their ideas with a receptive audience. The salons were less class-based and provided a wider diversity of audience, including different economic, political and religious perspectives.
