Enlightenment Quotes
“Our age is, in especial degree, the age of criticism [Kritik], and to criticism everything must
submit. Religion through its sanctity, and law-giving through its majesty, may seek to exempt
themselves from it. But then they awaken just suspicion and cannot claim the same respect
which reason accords only to that which has been able to sustain the test of free and open
examination.”
Immanuel Kant

I think that the central issue of philosophy and critical thought since the
eighteenth century has always been, still is, and will, I hope, remain the
question: What is this Reason that we use? What are its historical effects?
What are its limits and what are its dangers?
Michel Foucault
