Accordingly to Kant he believes enlightenment is a basis in which man can execute the immaturity of the world. He defines "immaturity" not in terms of child's play and the lack of wit but rather the contrary. Kant envisions this use of immaturity as raw acquirement of knowledge. In this paper, I will argue that his argument for people’s enlightenment is worth knowing. Kant ultimately demands the reader to extract the meaning of enlightenment and what this term truly defines in his article which I believe is deemed to be the acquirement of knowledge in order to "emerge from one's immaturity." Emerging from this self-induced immaturity would mean man would relinquish himself to knowledge in order to execute this damned world that man is in. …show more content…
I believe he should. If man were able to speak his mind against the conformity of immaturity due to the acquirement of his own knowledge and reason then he would undergo metamorphosis that will enable self-determination that will tackle against his own lack of maturity. Just like how kids can be deemed "immature" due to the acute possession of knowledge. Once man enters the phase of enlightenment then immaturity as we see it will be over. Just like how "the truth will set you free", knowledge creates that similar freedom. In order to understand the use of enlightenment in the role of government. The government should allow man to feed this immaturity with knowledge from the schools' education systems by promoting heavy use of free education in order for man to understand how the world works. A great counter example that will tarnish my opinion based on Kant's quote would be the elimination of the 1st amendment's freedom of speech which constricts using man's enlightenment against the immaturity of another (leads to no change in immaturity) or even by removing man's freedom to exercise his own enlightenment by incorporating laws or "higher authority" to keep man in an self-induced immature …show more content…
In addiction Kant quotes “man’s emergences from his self-incurred immaturity” in another way Kant believes that the people are forced to listen to what is around them. In which they are not allowed to think for themselves and told what to think for them. I agree how Kant notice this, because most people will just carry out their lives without seeing the restrictions on them. For example, people are limited in knowledge not because they don’t understand but rather people fear of accepting reassurance of others. Individuals would rather use their own knowledge instead of asking others for help. With that being said there is no wrong in asking for help as many men in especially do not think it is masculine. How does one expect to expand their knowledge on their own if they do not listen the knowledge of others? Kant believes that immaturity will keep people from growing because they are not expanding their mind. He’s trying to preach the knowledge so they could gain freedom. The Government should allow people to gain the knowledge from school and other educations. I support Kant’s argument of allowing citizen to gain valuable knowledge to reach total
