"Literary Focus: The Enlightenment," the author explains that to Enlightenment philosophers, "the study of truth involves many different fields of knowledge-the natural world, the human body, human behavior, the role of governments, and
the formation of just societies." In an essay of at least 300 words, argue which of these fields of knowledge is most
relevant to the study of truth. Which field of knowledge do you think can bring humanity closer to an understanding of
truth? Perhaps you believe it is scientists, those who study the human body," who can bring us closest to understanding
truth, or perhaps you believe it is those who work in "governments." Just be sure to use evidence from the text to
support your arguments.
