(Redirected from Sapere Aude)
'Sapere aude' is a Latin phrase meaning "Dare to know" or "Dare to be wise", or sometimes translated as "Have courage to use your own reason". Most famously, it is found in Immanuel Kant's essay "What Is Enlightenment?" as the motto of the Enlightenment. The original use seems to be in Epistle II of Horace's Epistularum liber primus [1]: ''Dimidium facti qui coepit habet: sapere aude'' ("He who has begun is half done: dare to know!").
It is a frequently used motto. Some users of the motto are listed below.
