How did print popularise the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers?

Print popularised the ideas of enlightenment thinkers in the following manner:

1. The writings of thinkers provided a critical commentary on tradition, superstition and despotism.

2. Scholars and thinkers argued for the rule of reason rather than custom, and demanded that everything be judged through the application of reason and rationality,

3. They attacked the sacred authority of the Church and the despotic power of the state, thus eroding the legitimacy of a social order based on tradition.

4. The Writings of Voltaire and Rousseau were read widely; and those who read these books saw the world through new eyes, eyes that were questioning, critical and rational.
