Dickinson: “Much Madness is divinest Sense”

In Dickinson’s perspective, to have “divinest Sense” may be a godlike understanding of the world society calls madness. This paradox is significant because Dickinson is telling the audience that if people are capable of developing and making their own judgements they are thought to be threats to society. Could this divine sense be the equivalent to enlightenment? Why does having this ‘sense’ have to be considered dangerous? Could the loss of control society has over those people be the reason they fear them, or are there more factors that contribute to that fear? How could this compare to Kant’s ideas in his What is Enlightenment essay?
