Never Voltaire, Montesquieu, Diderot, Rousseau and the others did not think at any moment that the French society needed to be deeply reformed with a revolutionary movement, or that monarchy had to disappear. However Enlightenment philosophers ( les Lumieres ) brought the ideological foundation for the French Revolution. Voltaire and Montesquieu were attached to the model of the parliamentary monarchy, a system imported from England.

I think the third poster Dorothy C said it all. As the good book says that man can continue to learn but never are able to reach the truth. I mean shouldn't all knowledge lead to truth? If truth is not sought then what is knowledge pointing to? In this life there are magnetic things like lead pipes or bars. Their magnetic properties are random with no direction. But if you pound it they align themselves with the earth's magnetic field. The total sum knowledge of man points to truth and as such what I call enlightenment.
