Let There Be Enlightenment: The Religious and Mystical Sources of Rationality

Tue, 05 Aug 2025
Explore the multifaceted concept of "light" during the Enlightenment, revealing its deep roots in religious and theological discourse rather than solely secular reason. Scholars emphasize that Enlightenment thought, particularly the metaphor of "light," emerged from intense religious debates and was compatible with—or even conducive to—religious belief, challenging traditional narratives of outright hostility between faith and reason. The sources further discuss how the notion of "enlightenment" was contested and interpreted in diverse ways by various groups, including anti-philosophes and Freemasons, reflecting ongoing debates about human improvement, the nature of knowledge, and societal progress. Ultimately, these texts highlight the complex and often intertwined relationship between religion and what we term the Enlightenment, demonstrating that the era's intellectual advancements were not a clean break from the past but rather a continuation and reinterpretation of existing traditions.
