What Is Enlightenment?

Kant defines enlightenment as a or over ing our immaturity and being able to think for ourselves. The dominant picture we have of the enlightenment now is one in which that reflection is reasoning. But just because you're committed to reflective autonomy doesn't mean that you are committed to any one particular theory of what that reflection should involve. In the picture of autonomous reflection that hume and smith, another sentimentalist, put forward, that it's still very much dare to be wise.
