One side, there is this idea that reason should guide every decision we make to lead a morally just life. That although things like emotion or people get in the way, we should always follow reason.

Reason allows us to shape what is going on around us and use that knowledge to make decisions. Reason is supposed to guide us on our journey from baby to child to adult. This idea of combining logic, deduction, and induction is exactly what compromises reason. Our actions give it strength and only can reason itself question reason. There are limits, barriers that restrict reason. Although reason may have its limitations, Kant’s Groundwork goes on about reason and mentions that with freedom comes reason and with reason, morality. Kant mentions why reason is something that needs to be pushed because from reason comes rational knowledge. (Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals) This idea of truly being free comes from reason. The Founding Fathers were not only some of the most
