The Enlightenment 1700-1800

Immanuel Kant What is Enlightenment? (1784) Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage 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.
