Abstract
The paper describes in detail economic and cultural premises for the emergence of the “Enlightenment project” in European countries, the stages, and options for the development of the project, its impact on international relations during the colonial period. The paper also provides examples of Eastern societies that have generated quite successful development models, which, nevertheless, could not resist the military, economic and ideological expansion of the Western countries, in which the “Enlightenment project” played one of the leading roles. In this part (part I see: [Yakovlev, 2023]), attention is drawn to the formation of a certain set of new worldview universals, ideals and interests, norms of behavior and morality that arose in the public life of Western European countries in the 15th–18th centuries. For centuries, people have comprehended their accumulated social experience and, as they experience ongoing events, rethink the conditions of their lives. Outstanding thinkers managed to bring together the lived experience of generations, which found its expression in the works of the fathers of the Enlightenment.
