At the end of Candide, the protagonist tells Pangloss that his theories sound great, but we must cultivate our garden.
I know he means that he must get on with the everyday tasks of life and not be overly concerned with matters beyond our control etc etc.
What I'm really wondering is what the point of it is from an Enlightenment perspective? What does it tell us about Enlightenment (or counter-Enlightenment) philosophy?
