What is Enlightenment?

This edition presents a fresh and clear rendering of Kant's influential essay on enlightenment, preserving his philosophical precision while making his revolutionary ideas accessible to modern readers. With the iconic call to "have the courage to use your own understanding," Kant's work serves as a vital exploration of intellectual freedom during an era he labeled an "age of enlightenment." As Volume 5 in the Voices of the German Enlightenment series, it enriches the understanding of both the German Enlightenment and the ongoing quest for independent thought.
