I love this. It's been almost 25 years that I've read Was ist AufklΓ€rung, a text so relevant today. I quoted it in my own latest Substack piece, which should be worth a read to you. https://beefheart.substack.com/p/why-freedom
Hi! I'm writing you here as I don't know how else to reach you: what is in your opinion the authoritative translation of the AufklΓ€rungsschrift? I use the German original, and I only found "tutelage" in an English translation for "UnmΓΌndigkeit". Elsewhere, you said "minority". I find "immaturity" to be the best translation yet, but I wonder what the standard translation is? I have to give a keynote lecture at Warwick in June, and I hear there are a lot of Kantians around (I'm what you could call an anti-authoritarian Marxist: trying to align some of Kant's with Marx's idea on freedom here). Really feel keen on the standard translation. Thanks!
