Kant 300: “An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?” (Live Reading)

"If it is now asked whether we at present live in an enlightened age, the answer is: No, but we do live in an age of enlightenment." – Kant

Join us for a live reading of Kant's essay on the importance of using "one's own understanding without direction from another", and how the freedom of public use of reason plays an important role in expediting enlightenment.

Note: We will have two meetings on this text, so expect the first meeting to cover about half of the text.

The text can be found quite easily by googling it. I'll be reading from the text as it appears in Cambridge's collection of Kant's "Practical Philosophy"

There are numerous editions (and free translations available online), but this collection contains all of Kant's Practical Philosophy in translation:
