Contrary to popular belief, in the course of describing the modern Western concepts of knowledge that emerged during this period, the intellectual traditions of East Asia tend to be very actively utilized as specific examples.

As such, the reading text of in the period of enlightenment, has the characteristics of shaping modern knowledge concepts through various discourse strategies.
