“There is more chance of an entire public enlightening itself. This is indeed almost inevitable, if only the public concerned is left in freedom. For there will always be a few who think for themselves, even among those appointed as guardians of the common mass” This brings to mind just about every extremely notable person that brought about change because of the unique way they thought. Too many to list. However Kant also goes to say that some of these people can revert back to non innovative people as they get strong enough to force others to think in a close minded way. Such an example would be most dictators. When fighting for whatever they believe, they preach very innovative change, and then when finally in power, although change comes often what comes with it is a period of stagnation.
