Written during the period known as the Enlightenment, the author attempts to explain basic principles to his reader. He explains the concept of the republican government, and why it is essential to perpetual peace. The philosopher is confident that human kind is progressing toward a better state. The optimism of the Enlightenment, and the belief in the capacity of humans for rationally reworking the world, is on full display. Qu'est-ce que les Lumières ? est une œuvre du philosophe allemand Emmanuel Kant datant de 1784. Son titre complet est Réponse à la question : qu'est ce que les Lumières ? (Beantwortung der Frage : Was ist Aufklärung?). Kant écrit ce texte en expliquant combien il est bénéfique à l'Homme de penser par lui-même, sans préjugé. Pour ce faire, il reprend ainsi la maxime de l'Aufklärung, « Sapere aude ! » (Aie le courage de savoir ! / Ose savoir !), empruntée au poète latin Horace. Cette maxime est commune à la métaphysique dogmatique wolffienne, objet de la critique kantienne, et à Kant lui-même parce qu'elle est l'expression d'une volonté de raison qui caractérise toute philosophie comme telle. Le dogmatisme métaphysique est l'illusion d'une raison qui présume de ses propres forces, illusion rationaliste qui est philosophique, tandis que l'extravagance (Schwärmerei) et le mysticisme sont une renonciation à la raison qui met en cause la liberté : en effet, si nous n'écoutions pas notre raison, que croirions-nous ? Et, sous prétexte d'institution ou de génie, ne risquerions-nous pas de nous assujettir à la loi d'un autre, quand obéir à la raison est obéir à la loi qu'on s'est prescrite ? sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Immanuel Kant was one of the most influential philosophers in the whole of Europe, who changed Western thought with his examinations of reason and the nature of reality. In these writings he investigates human progress, civilization, morality and why, to be truly enlightened, we must all have the freedom and courage to use our own intellect. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

I think I’d agree with him. And of course today there is so much information readily available on the internet that it is overwhelming. How much easier is it to share an outrage filter link than actually think and do a bit of research, find out the truth and realise that outrage is easy but not always true.
Enlightenment is the opposite of the click-bait headline.
So far, in my very limited reading I’m going to say I agree with Kant and not with Jean-Jacques Rousseau. ( )
