A well-known, but basically it amazing phenomenon is that some people thought outdated building simply does not want to die, even if the spirit world is already quite a bit moved. Just think of times in Communism: a theory that is about as forward-looking as the tax return from three years ago. And yet there is also today in Germany or the handful of those who dream of the next revolution. Another such program is the philosophical movement of Enlightenment. Only this is not how communism failed impressive, but quite the opposite. The program of education has been met in Germany at least quasi. Only so much, how some people would have hoped for them is probably not yet gotten around it. Presumably this is the reason why some of the completion of the Enlightenment do not notice, and the community of the "humanist ", "free thinkers " and several small blogs on the dissemination of information have taken up the cause.
Good - the last village in southern Germany I would not put my hand in the fire. But if Germany is seen as a whole times, then one can speak of the spread of the Enlightenment, that output from the self-inflicted inability to use his intelligence without the guidance of others , are already impressed. Because education is education where the cause of the inability to use one's own understanding, the lack of courage and resolution is. Not in the lack of understanding. And the courage and resolution to make use of his own mind, it is lacking in Germany now than that! Pretty much everyone thinks they need to enjoy the fruits of his mind. And so eager to write blogs. Believers base their faith not with But the priest said ... but with I just can not think that everything here should be formed by chance ... , and it is passionately crafted personal small cross-over from Christianity and Buddhism. In every morning talk show to give the guests the conclusions of their minds shamelessly for the best. Finally, the education culminating in impressive views, as happened to myself already: If you for instance against the terse statement that a particular factual situation was natural, and obviously so and so, raises the objection that this matter maybe it was not so obvious, because after all, have personalities make as Leibniz or Kant considerable thought about it must. Then you get the answer that the Spartans call these considerations are all the same, he would rather trust to his own head. Indeed, in courage and resolution for use of your mind it is no longer lacking! The problem lies rather in the lack of understanding. And this is no longer so declared Matter of the Enlightenment.
we take the information that is than what it is: a necessary and unreacted historic step, but who had over-estimated the resources of understanding dramatically. What is needed now is a program that may be how to deal with the general lack of understanding. And since there has unfortunately not as convincing approaches.
