As Immanuel Kant states enlightenment was a man’s release from his self incurred tutelage. Which means that a person can make his decisions without the help of another person. Kant talks about how he wants the public to think freely and act judiciously, but there problems arise because of tutelage. Tutelage is when a person can think or do anything for themselves with direction form another and Kant talks about the reasons for which this occurs. One of the reasons is laziness as men thought it was difficult to enlarge their knowledge, this is a point I definitely agree on because now a days this occurs often people often get lazy to learn or do thing that seem hard so they find the easy way out by getting someone else to do it for them. Another reason the Kant talks about is cowardice which he says the general public feared to use their own reasoning and he gives a great example as he talks about how a guardian puts fear into a person by making them so used to having the help of the guardian and even showing the dangers if they try and go alone when the danger is not great at all and all this does is make the person fearful and timid to even try to think or do anything for themselves. I’ve seen many cases of this happen when fear is put into a person and they get traumatized it really affects them and the way they think it is still a problem to this day. Kant discusses the requirements for enlightenment and the most important one mentioned was freedom and I can agrees with that as freedom is our way of expressing ourselves freely without any fear of anything, but Kant also mentions that their are many restrictions to freedom which limits enlightenment. Kant goes on about the restrictions but its seem a bit extreme when he talks about it because while I agree with having to thinks for ourselves but it is also important to keep an open mind because at the end of the day you make your choices and decisions no one else.
