Demanding Progress Through Enlightenment

Throughout history, influential figures like Immanuel Kant have called for the removal of self-imposed tutelage and the use of reason to restructure societal systems. According to Murray Bookchin, such instances demonstrate a repetitive human tendency where people realize the need for change and demand greater levels of liberty, equality, and solidarity. This pattern suggests that when a significant portion of society recognizes the need for change, they eventually demand progress in these aspects of life, prompting the question of whether another such moment of progress is imminent.
