How did Kant define Enlightenment? Use Kant’s definition to discuss whether either Rousseau or Marx is an Enlightenment figure.  In other words, choose one of the following comparisons to write about: Kant compared to Rousseau, OR Kant compared to Marx.

This is the writing assignment for my MOOC on Modernity.  Haven’t decided whether I’m going to answer it or just audit.  There are 8 writing assignments, plus grading peer papers.  It’s actually the grading that feels onerous to me.
