康德认为启蒙是人类从自身造成的未成年状态中解脱出来。他将人类思想的发展比作个人的成长过程，从孩童时期依赖他人思考到成年后独立思考。康德指出，许多人出于舒适或胆怯，选择停留在未成年状态，依赖他人思考，而不是独立思考。他认为，这种依赖他人思考的状态是一种自我强加的束缚，让我们受制于我们任意选择相信的人。康德强调，独立思考需要勇气，即使会犯错，也要敢于尝试。他认为，启蒙的格言应该是“敢于明智”。 佐尔纳质疑启蒙运动的最终目标，引发康德对“什么是启蒙”的深入思考。佐尔纳的疑问促使康德对人类思想发展阶段进行反思，并提出独立思考的重要性。佐尔纳的观点代表了对启蒙运动部分成果的质疑和反思，为康德的论述提供了重要的背景和出发点。佐尔纳的质疑并非完全否定启蒙，而是对启蒙运动的边界和方向提出了谨慎的思考，这在当时的历史背景下具有重要的意义。

Shownotes Transcript

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss Kant’s answer to the question “What is enlightenment?” We begin by recounting the story of how Kant came to answer this question in the first place and why this was an important question to consider at the time. Next, we examine why Kant believed that we impose immaturity on ourselves by outsourcing our thinking to others. Finally, we discuss why it takes courage to think for yourself and the importance of “daring to be wise." All this and more on the latest episode of Philosophize This!
