About “What Is Enlightenment?”
"Answering the Question: What Is Enlightenment?" is a 1784 essay by Immanuel Kant, published in the Berlinische Monatsschrift, replying to a question posed a year earlier by Reverend Johann Friedrich Zöllner. Kant's opening paragraph is a much-cited definition of a lack of enlightenment as people's inability to think for themselves due not to lack of intellect, but lack of courage.
