What is Enlightenment?

Much like mostly every blog post that I read this week, I also enjoyed and felt encouraged by Kant. I want to be someone who thinks through everything for myself, not just accept things as fact because some "guardian" told me so. I want to obey. I want to encourage my peers, especially in this stage of our life when we are learning so much about ourselves and away from our parents, at an amazing Christian University, to push past what we have been told all our life and make our knowledge real to us. I love when my classes overlap and I think this week honors and my Christian Worldview class overlap to an extent. In the way that we must use our own understanding without another's guidance to learn more about our God and have a relationship with Him.
