Abstract

The paper explores the fi gurative speeches in philosophical texts of the early Enlightenment and examines with a view to the concept of light the commonmetaphor fi elds. This process reveals the light imagery in the biblical genesis as a double aspect of ›light of nature‹, both as a physical and a moral concept. Inaddition to these biblical derivations there can also be found meanings, in which light sources are images of human orientation or exploration that fi nally received church- and state-critical importance through their absence in darkness.
