Why in the homeland of the Renaissance there are no prominent ideologues of the Enlightenment

big but try my best

Explanation:

The Enlightenment, generally accepted as the flowering of modernity in the West from its Renaissance roots, is a periodization in history. Periodization, a complex problem in history, is the attempt to categorize or divide historical time, mentality or events into discrete named blocks. History is in fact continuous, and so all systems of periodization are to some extent arbitrary. History does not end as long as the human species survives. Those who proclaim the end of history are predicting the death of civilization, not the victory of neo-liberalism as heaven on Earth. Imperialism and neo-imperialism, operating with cultural hegemony, are a cancer the invasive growth of which will kill the world as a living organism.

It is nevertheless useful to segment history so that the past can provide lessons to the present by being conceptually organized and significant changes over time articulated. Different peoples and cultures have different histories, and so will need different models of periodization. Periodizing labels constantly change and are subject to redefinition as contemporary perceptions change. A historian may claim that there is no such thing as modernity, or the Enlightenment or the Renaissance, or the Nuclear Age, while others will defend the concept. Modernity, as currently constituted in the West, can also be viewed as a relapse of civilization toward barbarism through advanced technology.
