Elucidation 2.0Sapere aude. Dare to know.
In 1784, Kant asked people to have the courage to think for themselves. Today an AI can explain almost anything to anyone, at any hour. Elucidation 2.0 is his call for that world: make use of your own intellect, with AI at your side, not in your place.

Then and now
Why not “Enlightenment”? →1784 Elucidation
Elucidation is the human being’s way out of their self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is the inability to make use of one’s intellect without the guidance of another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when the cause of it lies not in a lack of intellect, but in a lack of resolve and of courage to make use of it without the guidance of another. Sapere aude! Have courage to make use of your own intellect! is thus the motto of Elucidation.
Read the German original
Aufklärung ist der Ausgang des Menschen aus seiner selbstverschuldeten 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 andern zu bedienen. Sapere aude! Habe Mut, dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen! ist also der Wahlspruch der Aufklärung.
2026 Elucidation 2.0
Elucidation 2.0 is the human being’s way out of their self-incurred ignorance. Ignorance is the inability to understand the world although its knowledge lies open. Self-incurred is this ignorance when the cause lies not in a lack of access, but in the comfort of settling for the answer instead of asking why. Sapere aude! Have courage to make use of your own intellect, with AI at your side, not in your place!
Read it in German
Aufklärung 2.0 ist der Ausgang des Menschen aus seiner selbstverschuldeten Unwissenheit. Unwissenheit ist das Unvermögen, die Welt zu verstehen, obwohl ihr Wissen offensteht. Selbstverschuldet ist diese Unwissenheit, wenn die Ursache nicht am Mangel des Zugangs liegt, sondern an der Bequemlichkeit, sich mit der Antwort zu begnügen, statt nach dem Warum zu fragen. Sapere aude! Habe Mut, dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen – mit der KI an deiner Seite, nicht an deiner Stelle!
