THE CLIMAX OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT
Palmer thought that the climax was represented both by the triumphant French Republic of 1798, and by the Republic of Terror of 1794, together.
This makes some sense. Yet I would refer to these, analytically as an aftermath, myself.
I would have placed what I consider the end of the Enlightenment as such as the eve of the French Revolution in 1789.
