IMMANUEL KANT :: "WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT?"

Ginevra- that's awesome that you came up with that enlightenment connection since a very smart friend of mine, Stacy Garfinkel, had told us about this Kant essay in the context of taking that student initiative. Or in a less marmy-ish voice- the potential of teaching. Education as the development of free will, critical thinking, the ability to think on your own without getting caught up in the tide. How to know what you want. Isn't that something that needs to be developed and isn't really natural? To answer for you- "Yes." Ha ha. I'm one of those people with the annoying habit of writing in questions. That's because I'm the Hamlet of my life- Here's a link to the essay:
