The Age of Enlightenment was an era that lasted roughly throughout the 18th century and promoted ideals of freedom, rationality, as well as societal and scientific progress. How much do you know about it?
Kant wrote a short and easy to read summary on the question, "What is Enlightenment?". He argues that most people prefer to delegate thinking to higher authorities out of laziness and cowardice. Enlightenment then is man's escape from self-imposed immaturity.
