Carl Linnaeus was a Swede who lived from 1707 to 1778. He publishes his system of naming in the Systema Naturae in the Philosophia Botanico in 1751, and the Species Plantarum. So, he was born inside the era of the Enlightenment. The enlightenment brought us Adam Smith, who came out with his great work The Wealth of Nations in 1776, three months before the American Declaration of Independence.
