Document Summary
What : quote by john locke talking about knowledge and its powerful place in success. As matters now stand it is still far from true that men are already capable of using their own reason in religious matters confidently and correctly without external guidance. Still, we have some obvious indications that the field of working toward the goal [of religious truth] is now opened. What is more, the hindrances against general enlightenment or the emergence from self-imposed nonage are gradually diminishing. In this respect this is the age of the enlightenment and the century of frederick . Why: frederick the great is a sign of the enlightenment and that we are not finished enlightening but because of the laziness that man limits himself with we are only starting. Questioned religion-> cause immaturity because man was not able to think for themselves. When: 1784: men are born and remain free and equal in rights.
