I see that both phrases «in light of» and «in the light of» are used and people considering both to be correct. Look here and here. Also there is a large corpus supporting both phrases usages; you can consult here.

Question #1:

Though both seems to be correct in terms of being used in writings, which one is grammatically correct?

Question #2:

In there any difference in their meaning implications?

I am providing two examples:

  • I will be happy to look at to them and respond to you in the light of your comments.

  • Even in light of your comments, I still fail to understand what is the difference between A and B.

Thanks

In the light of/in light of

Both phrases convey the same sense, with the only difference that you usually say «in the light of» in BE and «in light of» in AE.

The idiom for the «given, considering» meaning is in light of — no article. However, in the light of is grammatical as well, it just doesn’t mean «considering».

In the light of the full moon, the lake looked magical, like something out of a dream.

In light of the full moon falling on Tuesday, we’ve moved our nighttime treasure hunt to Wednesday.

To explicitly answer your questions:

  1. Both in light of and in the light of can be grammatical. (The very fact that you found both in use should have told you this.)

  2. They mean different things. The version with the definite article is used literally, while the version without an article is an idiomatic phrase that means something like «taking into consideration», and is unlikely to be used literally.

Both of your examples should use in light of (no article).

(Note that this is American English. I make no claims one way or the other about British English.)

In his view, we delibrate in the light of desire.(On Evil, introduction, by Brian Davies)

I very often saw «in light of». For instances: in light of what you said above,…
But here it seems «the» is necessary, because it has a very specifical reference. Right?

    Hello Ben pan

    I think there may, in part, be an AmE/BrE difference here.

    I remember that when I was working in Canada, I wrote «in the light of» in a paper and had it corrected to «in light of» by one of my Canadian colleagues.

    I don’t think I ever say/write «in light of»:).

    I agree with Parla (post 2).

    • #7

    I agree with parla and Rmi(ss). I think «in light of» is like a well-worn idiom, not appropriate to express Acquinas’ meaning, because it will sounds too weak. «In the light of» is more austere, clearly indicating the controlling relationship between delibration and desire.

    Loob said that «in light of» is BE, «in the light of» AE, but if «in light of» is equally prevalent in AE, the ground of her point will be weak. So do Americans say «in light of» ?
