> Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! "Have courage to use your own reason!" -- that is the motto of enlightenment. - Immanuel Kant
"An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?"
(Was ist Äufklarung?)
(30 September, 1784) [0] Anytime we read a paper book or write with a pen, we break free of the tyranny of the device. The mind is one step further removed from the connected mob and therefore one step closer to thinking on its own terms. [0] http://web.mnstate.edu/gracyk/courses/web%20publishing/KantO... |
