What is Enlightenment?

I can honestly say that i have no clue what the hell this handout was saying. I was very lost in the reading and I had to read it a few times over again. I guess the only thing that I understand is Enlightenment is man's release from his incurred tutelage. And that Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. For example, my inability to understand what the packet is trying to say or wanting to teach me. you can get help from others but sometimes you cannot be to dependent because it will all in disaster if eventually you are on you own. If people are to dependent on others, they will lack the ability to think for themselves.
