'What is Enlightenment' can be connected to Paulo Freire's 'The Banking Concept of Education'. In this article Freire explains the Baking concept which is where the teacher tells the student what to know. He says that it is dehumanizing because the students do not think for themselves. Kant argues that this is exactly the cause of enlightenment, so that people can start to think for themselves, and be released from their self indulged tutelage.
Question: Why does some one else have to release us from bondage?
