What Is Enlightenment?

from The Makers Rage Podcast · host Darren Koolman

Today, let's explore Immanuel Kant's "What is Enlightenment?" This 1784 essay questioned our perception of enlightenment itself. Kant suggested that enlightenment emerges from self-imposed immaturity, urging us to "Dare to Know." He criticized reliance on external guidance, advocating for independent thinking. Kant warned against surrendering autonomy to societal guardians, urging us to challenge complacency. Reflecting on his essay, I wonder if Enlightenment is ongoing. Despite revolutions and technological leaps, the spirit of Enlightenment endures. Kant's legacy challenges us to embrace reason, guiding us towards a brighter future. The essence of Enlightenment lies not in a historical period but in an enduring ethos—an attitude of questioning, exploring, and seeking truth.https://www.facebook.com/TheMakersRage/https://www.instagram.com/themakersrage/Music by LiteSaturation from Pixabay
