Cunoașterea Naturii în Gândirea Luminilor
Knowledge of Nature in the Thought of the Enlightenment

Summary/Abstract: . In nature’s design, the philosophy of the Enlightenment evolves from the self founding thinking of the Middle Ages, centred around the existence of God, by accepting andovercoming the mathematical model of nature’s conception, to the biological model, laying thefoundation of evolutionism. Mechanicism is a common ground of the era, the model of a clock’smechanism being applied from the conception of the universe to the level of living beings. In response,the biologist model understands any part of the world as a living organism, whether it is talkingabout astronomical systems or social systems. These are the quests of the Enlightenment in an agethat oscillates between rationalism and empiricism, an age that boils with effervescence andenthusiasm and that traces all the directions of knowledge that live to the present day.
