Emmanuel Kant: "What is Enlightenment"

       Emmanuel Kant explains what he believes enlightenment in this article. He  says that it is a release from bondage, or "man's release from self-incurred tutelage". Meaning that you release yourself from this "bondage", that someone else has over you. In other words, you stop allowing other people to influence your thought and start finding the truth on your own.
       I do not believe that Emmanuel Kant has the right idea about what the Enlightenment truly is. Enlightenment is beginning to learn and find things out for yourself, however, it is impossible to truly get away from other people's influence. The Enlightenment is not just a certain period in history. Almost every person on earth will go through their own time of when they begin to realize, learn, and piece things together. This usually comes with age. The enlightenment was a period of maturation for the country. The saying "man's release from self-incurred tutelage" can be related to the story of Christ in some ways. It is usually impossible for someone to release another from something they have caused themselves, however, Christ saved all men and women on the earth from our sin, which we do ourselves.
        Did he imply this comparison to Christ? or did I just read into te saying to deeply?
