Abstract

This paper is an inquiry into the idea of knowledge and science, characteristic of the philosophy of the Enlightenment. These ideas are analyzed against the background of general tendencies of modern philosophy, preparing the path for the Enlightenment. The transformation of how the knowledge is comprehended will be presented through a short analysis of the light metaphor, now referring exclusively to natural cognitive powers. On the basis of such analysis, I will further shortly present the core idea of science, as it is advocated for in the Encyclopedia, as an open and essentially unfinished, but yet methodologically organized system of knowledge.
