"The Age of Doubt" refers to a period in history characterized by skepticism and questioning of established beliefs and institutions. This era emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, influenced by rapid advancements in science, technology, and philosophy. Thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud challenged traditional views on morality, religion, and human behavior, leading to a broader cultural shift. During this time, many people began to doubt the reliability of religious doctrines and the authority of governments. The rise of modernism and the questioning of societal norms encouraged individuals to seek personal truths, fostering a climate of uncertainty and exploration in various fields, including art, literature, and politics.
