Immanuel Kant: What Is Enlightenment?
An introduction to Kant's essay, "An Answer to the Question, 'What is Enlightenment?'" I look specifically at the concepts of maturity, laziness, and cowardice, and ask what it means to "think for yourself."

I am just curious if you want to comment on the rest of the article specifically on private and public reason? The first part is luminous.

I should absolutely put together a video about the public/private reason distinction! There's a lot to say there, you're right. A comment obviously doesn't give me space to say much, but one thing I'll quickly point out: Much of what we call "public speaking" falls under what Kant calls "the private use of reason." A pastor giving a sermon, a press secretary holding a press conference, and a CEO addressing shareholders are all speaking "privately" in Kant's sense (and all of these can be restricted without hindering enlightenment, Kant thinks). When I speak "publicly," I step outside of my various social roles (and especially my job) to speak as a "universal" human being.
