The quote presents human culture as a gradual movement through different stages. It compares ignorance and barbarism to night and darkness, while enlightenment appears as dawn and daylight. The point is that the more developed state of culture described here does not arise all at once; it follows a passage from limited understanding toward greater clarity and knowledge.
