On the Nature of Kant's Liberal Education of Enlightenment and Its Effect

Kant defined enlightenment as a process for the individual to get rid of self- incurred immature state, in which he learns to get courage to use his own reason and address openly to the public through his own academic works and applies the reason to all human beings. In this case, enlightenment of either an individual or masses has become a liberal education with profound connotation. As the enlightenment of liberal education, it has confined itself to the field of speech freedom and the reason is its only boundary. According to the internal logic of the enlightenment and the sociality of speech, the liberal education has three important effects: the reason generated in experiments, the illocutionary act and the practice community.
