Resumen
In the Beantwortung the Enlightenment is related to the freedom of the public use of reason. However, this freedom cannot be separated from mechanism, as well as the public use of reason cannot be separated from the private use. In this paper we want to show some aspects of this mechanism and of its very need for freedom itself, which will reveal the essential pragmatic condition of the Enlightenment. he mechanism is ultimately –and therefore metaphysically– a condition of the being of man (which is active and pasive at the same time), of the logical use of his faculties (which can be relective and determinative) and of the form of government (which can be republican and despotic).
