I’m crying tears of joy right now. I have been having panic attacks and constant anxiety now that the end of the semester is culminating in holiday and financial stress. Your video brought me SO much relief because it’s so clear, understandable, and answers exactly a question i didn’t think it was possible to get an answer to (Kant’s reference to the imposed nonage of women “the entire fair sex.” Your video and clear explanation has honestly helped me in unprecedented emotional and psychological ways. I came here to understand Kant’s Enlightenment a bit more and I walked away with that exact expectation fulfilled, as well as relief that I’m not entirely an idiot and people out there can explain these things to me. Thank you for the help on my paper!!!!!

I found Kant's essay on enlightenment both inspiring and surprising. It is one of my favourite essays. He really was an optimist and that is worth remembering today. He said it was not really that hard to learn to use your own mind; it can be done! How good is that to hear today? Yet it was written in the 1700s. I appreciate your explanation of nonage, a concept I missed in my reading of the essay. Thank-you for explaining that. I would enjoy attending your lectures on enlightenment.

Comparing then VS now we've come a long way in the 200 orso years since this piece has been written. Surely some of it has been realized now the modern age has brought about the technology to connect more and more of these Enlightened individuals from across the globe to share our sacred rights in some form of freedom. Talk about optimism! It sure is a term to live by during the liberation of humankind. For many a reassurrance, for some an example. Nonetheless, it's beautiful to see these words from long ago resonate with this time.

Tom, I apologize if this has been discussed in the comments already and I'm being redundant, however, it seems to me that what Kant was saying about rights to public expression (around 11:00) isn't just about maintaining freedom of speech, it's about maintaining freedom to be IN PUBLIC expressing ANYTHING. This was about establishing and maintaining the freedom to preach in the public square and establish a flock of followers who were atheists and understood the churches power at the time was imprisonment. At this point in history, wasn't Kant saying "people have to be free to dissent religious constructs and establish a mature truth within themselves regarding reality and what it means to be a human being" with the SAFEST words possible? For me, there is genius in expressing anything that attempts to dismantle the religious constructs that are without question maintaining nonage across the land.

Kudos for this very succinct explanation, and thumbs-up for the flare-up of passion in your last sentences. Being German, I sort of stumbled over the word "nonage". I assume it is the standard translation for the word "Unmündigkeit" used by Kant. And although I have a hunch that the two terms are not exactly the same, my point is rather that "Unmündigkeit", to this day, is a word that when used in general conversation in German does not require any explanation. It is simply common knowledge and easy to understand. Am I wrong when I assume that "nonage" is not as easily understood in the English language, and that readers of the essay might have to chew quite a bit on that term?

The 18th book of the Bible is Job , followed by Psalms and then Proverbs. Books 18-22 are the poetic books and the 18th-22nd centuries reflect or pattern the 18th-22nd books of the Bible. (Well, the 22nd century isn’t here yet). I’m not surprised to see the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century as Job was learning through his sufferings how God rules over men. The telephone was invented in the 19th century just as Psalms the 19th book is a cry/call (phone means call) unto God. The 20th century reflects Proverbs/Luke/3John. While Luke was a physician (Repha in Hebrew, a Reish word, the 20th letter of the Hebrew Alphabet) John wishes the readers to be in good health in the 20th epistle. The 20th century saw a rise in the medical provision.

When you say sacred, do you mean inherent? Since Kant is challenging religious ideas, it seems odd to use the term "sacred" implying something God-given. You use the phrase Nature-given as one might use the phrase God-given. Irregardless of how humanity came to have the capacity for self thought & self direction, and cautiously considering his optimism that people will consider the impact of their personal freedoms on society & the world, Kant's ideas are a very solid rallying cry of all people who challenge the status quo of any aspect of society. My advice is challenge it, just try not to be too stupid.

Look into things like Sufism, Jewish Mysticism, the eastern Orthodox and western Catholic church split. Research Freemasonry, why they want Eucenism, why they use of Kabbalah, etc... They conflate Gnosis, Enlightenment and knowledge or knowing with freedom. They worship enlightenment and knowledge as a god ahead of any real type of love or care, and in this internet age, they can control what people get enlightened to using algorithms.

Personally, I think the hate speech laws are a tool for debate and free exploration of ideas. It's absolutely fine in England to debate multiculturalism, but people are not allowed to 'express themselves' by harassing a ethnic minority woman down the street shouting racial slurs at her. Surely for Enlightenment values, the ethnic minority woman should be enabled to feel safe enough to express her thoughts, too? To have a religiously tolerant society, didn't they first need to have laws against abusing/attacking/murdering members of other religions? Our hate speech laws don't touch anyone engaging in non-abusive, intellectual, debate.
