Abstract:
This report focuses on the theme of enlightenment, pointing out that enlightenment is the free use of human reason and an indispensable step for mankind to build a reasonable and just society; Reflecting-enlightenment is to reflect on the enlightenment so far within the boundaries of enlightenment thought, find out the gaps, and promote the enlightenment better; Non-enlightenment is still in a state of ignorance, and blaming enlightenment is a backward and conservative ideological behavior. The author hopes that through the sorting out of enlightenment, Reflecting-enlightenment and non-enlightenment, people’s correct understanding of enlightenment can be promoted, and believe that only by constantly reflecting on enlightenment with the spirit of enlightenment can people continue to approach the truth and change the world, and all nations will one day reach the most enlightened, freest and unprejudiced civilization.
Delivered in English.
