Primary Source: Immanuel Kant

Well, this primary source reading has been the toughest reading of the semester.  According to Immanuel Kant, there really doesn’t seem to be freedom.  He claims that yes, enlightenment requires freedom and it is basically a freedom from having someone telling man what to do and how to follow instruction.  He also comes to claiming that it is nearly impossible to achieve freedom because in religion they are told what to do, society itself tells people what to do.  I believe that in reality, no one can really have total freedom from society because of the same reasons.  In school you are told what to do, at work you are bossed around and even in your family, you have duties that you must live up to.  As secluded as you would like to be from society, you cannot be because even society tells us how to dress.
