If you think about the 18th century, say, if you think about intellectual life before the late 19th century, anything you did, anything you thought about, whether it was the physical world, the human world, the natural world apart from the human world, or morality, anything you did would have been framed against the background of a set of assumptions that were religious, Christian assumptions.
Vamos pensar no século 18, vamos pensar na vida intelectual antes do finalzinho do século 19. Tudo o que você fizesse, tudo o que você pensasse, fosse sobre o mundo físico, sobre o mundo humano, sobre o mundo natural à parte do mundo humano, sobre moral, tudo o que você fizesse era comparado com um panorama de postulações religiosas, de postulações cristãs.
