It is subsequently difficult to reconcile enlightenment grounded assertions that the primary focus of science has always been the discovery of natural “rules” and their applications, through pure logic and reason.

During this era, two philosophers with differing views were in the forefront of the intellectual and philosophical movements of the time.
