1. When Kant speaks of "Freedom" he means that one can only reach it when one is able to choose one's own decisions. He states that one will be free when one is not following the commands of another.
2.He feels that freedom is essential to enlightenment because one must be allowed to make one's own choices. One must free one's mind, free oneself from immaturity, and pursue one's path. Enlightenment requires freedom because one "must make public use of his reason in all matters".
3. People can become enlightened when they are no longer immature. People must not depend on others and people follow their own paths.
4. Kant relates enlightenment to politics by stating this is the "age is the age of enlightenment, the century of Frederick."
