English term
rank sensuality
[...] The liberation of political prisoners heralded the exaltation of the Goddess of Reason and the Rights of Man. Christian thinking was relegated, the Huguenots fled France, and Man was thought to have come of age. For the next hundred years, though the gospel knew great advances in missionary work from parts of Europe and America, Europe as a whole was coming under the increasing influence of post-Christian thinking. The period of the late 18th century and the beginning of the 19th also saw the rise of the Romanticists such as Blake, Wordsworth, Keats and Shelley, with their powerful use of imagination to offset the dominance of reason and ***rank sensuality*** that came with the extremes of the Enlightenment.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
