Sapere aude Dimidium facti qui coepit habet: sapere aude This is a short sentence out of the seventh work by Horace, published in the year 20BC. The phrase "sapere aude" comes out of a poem. There are many possibilities to translate this small sentence - this is our translation: "when you start to think, half of the work is done - Have the courage to use your brain.." Immanuel Kant said: "Enlightenment is "man's release from his self-incurred tutelage", with Sapere Aude being charged to those who would follow this program of individual liberty and knowledge. The Age of Enlightenment is also known as the Age of Reason. When you look at the American Declaration of Independence, the United States Bill of Rights and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, you will see the ideas and hopes of this new / old philosophy of Enlightenment. In todays life, one might think these ideas and hopes are forgotten. To give their children a good education parents have to work hard and sacrifice time and a lot of money. Money that not all parents have.. Education only for the wealthy? We know from history, that the age of enlightenment changed Earth to the better. We know from history, that the American dream of -all men are equal- that the Declaration of Independence would not exist without the ideas of Enlightenment. We think it is time to bring this idea back to life - we think this idea has to become powerful again because the future of our Earth because the future of our children and grandchildren depends on it. Please give me your thoughts! Please help us with our mission of free education with our demand: Sapere aude! There are many famous humans who agreed to the idea Sapere Aude to the values of Enlightenment: * Johann Gottfried Herder Germany * Paul Heinrich Dietrich von Holbach Germany * David Hume Scotland * Maria Theresia Austria * Friedrich II. Prussia * Joseph II. Austria * Immanuel Kant Germany * Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock Germany * Ignacy Krasicki Poland * Julien Offray de La Mettrie France * Eggert Ólafsson Iceland * Gotthold Ephraim Lessing Germany * John Locke England * Moses Mendelssohn Germany * Montesquieu France * Thomas Paine England * Jean-Jacques Rousseau France * Johann Georg Sulzer Germany * Voltaire France |
