Voltaire and Rousseau are both French philosophers who were prominent figures during the Enlightenment period. They both emphasized reason, individualism, and human rights. Newton and Leibniz were influential scientists and mathematicians during the same time period, but their contributions were more focused on the fields of physics and calculus, rather than philosophy. Galileo was an influential figure in the development of modern science, but he lived before the Enlightenment period.
