English summary: The Enlightenment has often been characterized as an age captivated by the sense of sight. But what did natural scientists or philosophers in the 17th and 18th century really know and think about the functioning and the capacities of the human eye? This study investigates a central discourse of the Enlightenment and shows that our understanding of the 'Siecle des Lumieres' should be questioned. German description Der Epoche der Aufklarung wird nicht nur eine besondere Vorliebe fur den Sehsinn und das Licht nachgesagt, sondern auch ein bestimmtes Wahrnehmungsmodell', das von dem Topos des kalten, distanzierten und klassifizierenden Blicks gepragt sei. Ausgehend von einem vereinzelt formulierten Zweifel an dieser Zuordnung sowie neueren Tendenzen in der Aufklarungsforschung geht die vorliegende Arbeit der Frage nach, ob sich ein solches Wahrnehmungsmodell im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert tatsachlich nachweisen lasst. Was wussten und wie dachten Naturforscher, Philosophen oder Optiker uber das Auge und die Funktionsweise des menschlichen (und tierischen) Sehens? Es kann gezeigt werden, dass sich im Zeitraum von 1604 bis 1778 ein vielschichtiger Diskurs uber Moglichkeiten und Grenzen der sinnlichen Empfindung entwickelt, der lange vor 1750 die physisch-psychische und kulturelle Bedingtheit des Sehens ins Zentrum ruckt.
