Kant believes that man is incapable of using his own understanding because no one has ever allowed him to challenge it. Because the minor is so dependent, it is much harder for them to act and think on their own. Kant further explains that the immature person is this way because he lets others choose for him and becomes dependent on the instructions from others. In essence, Kant is saying that we are not grown enough to think for ourselves.
In this context, immaturity is the inability to use one’s reasoning without guidance from others. Immaturity is define as the state of being immature or not fully grown. Kant defines enlightenment as man’s emergence from self-incurred immaturity. Many people replied, but the most famous response came from Kant. Reverand Johann Zollner was a government official who posed an open question to all about the removal of clergy from marriages. In his essay, Kant basically replied to a question that was asked in 1783 by Reverand Johann Zollner. Kant’s “What is enlightenment” was written in 1784.
