Knowledge is power. These words of wisdom have been passed down through the centuries. Initially this “power” likely referred to political power—the power to rule over others—but by the Age of Enlightenment, the power provided by knowledge was considered more personal. Knowledge gave individuals power over their environment and circumstances: the power to control their own destiny.
