Notes on Kant’s What is Enlightenment? Posted on March 16‚ 2012 ‘Enlightenment is the human being’s emergence from his self-incurred minority. Kant means emergence from a form of slavery‚ in which one is not free to think for oneself‚ but instead is told what to think. In a sense‚ I think it relates to religious and state imposed rules.
