Comes from the sentence: Druhá kapitola je nazvána Tereziánský předstupeň osvícenského absolutismu.
I know we're talking about the period of Maria Theresia, and I know that at least literally we've got a "pre-degree", and we know what enlightened absolutism is, but how to put it all together to sound and be correct?

Early Stage of Enlightened Absolutism, the Reign of Maria Theresa
Just an idea...
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Jana Bedanova
: I think it's the best suggestion, not literal as some of the others, but as a name of the chapter it sounds pretty elegant and English to me

Theresian First Stage of Enlightened Absolutism ?
Just a guess. Do you have any more information about the book/chapter or is that just a reference in something else you are translating?
Another possibility:
First Stage of Enlightened Absolutism under Maria Theresa's Reign

Reign of Maria Theresa: A Path to the Absolutism of the Age of Enlightment
What we call the "Theresan" (or Theresian) Period and Theresan Reforms may also refer to the reign of Emperor Joseph II, son of Maria Theresa and an equally renowned representative of the Enlightment.
Check out whether restricting the chapter title to Maria Theresa's reign would correspond with the context.
As for a more accurate translation, I am almost sure no precise and uniform term would be available, so it is best to see it as a figurative expression and try to put in a bit of creative approach.
Other alternatives:
Theresan Period - Dawn of Absolutism of the Enlightment Era
Early Absolutism Stage of the Age of Enlightment in the Theresan Period
