Detailed Solution

Many new philosophers came up during the French Revolution. They brought many new ideas and philosophies for the betterment of the people. They found a new idea for spreading their philosophies to people. People started discussing those new ideas in salons and coffeehouses. They were spread through discussions of people at various places. Newspapers and books also helped a lot in spreading these messages and ideas. These newly generated ideas were published in newspapers and books.
Through these modes, the ideas spread very quickly. Of course, some people could not read or write. For those who cannot read and write, these ideas were spoken out loudly in gatherings or groups. This mode of spreading ideas was passed on to all the people.
