“What is the Enlightenment” - Kant
1. “Enlightenment is man’s leaving his self-caused immaturity.”
2. One must have the courage to use one’s intelligence
3. Laziness and cowardice are the two elements in people which would prevent enlightenment
4. People must have the courage to think for themselves
5. Only a few have managed to gain maturity
6. If the public is given freedom, it as a whole can reach maturity (only through slow processes)
7. Freedom of thought is the most important step toward enlightenment
8. People are not enlightened yet, but are making progress
