- "Aufklärung ist der Ausgang des Menschen aus seiner selbst verschuldeten Unmündigkeit. Unmündigkeit ist das Unvermögen, sich seines Verstandes ohne Leitung eines anderen zu bedienen. Selbstverschuldet ist diese Unmündigkeit, wenn die Ursache derselben nicht am Mangel des Verstandes, sondern der Entschließung und des Mutes liegt, sich seiner ohne Leitung eines anderen zu bedienen. Sapere aude! Habe Mut dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen! ist also der Wahlspruch der Aufklärung."
"Enlightenment is man’s leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. Such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. Sapere Aude! Have the courage to use your own intelligence! is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) "What is Enlightenment?" (1784). Today is Kant's 300th birthday.
Published in "Troll". Activating the RQ-battery fails 1. Nd6? Bc8+!, so the NQ-battery should be activated, but 1. Rf4? (2. Bf1#) Ke2, Qxa2 2. Nd4#, Ng3# fails to 1.. Qe6! Thus 1. Re5 (2. Bf1#) Kc4, Qxa2 2. Ne3#, Nd6#. The R-moves give the flights e2, c4, respectively. Good content and also a challenging chess puzzle.
