The private use of reason is associated with holders of “civil posts” while the public use of reason is associated with “scholars.” (Kant p42) This distinction is a difference in the role of the individual. Between these two spheres there is also a difference in the audience being addressed an individual is engaged in “public use” of reason when addressing “the entire public of the reading world,”(Kant p43) while the addressees of private uses of reason can be reasonably restricted since…

The main idea is a state of war would be dreadful for every inhabiter but for that exact same reason it makes everyone willing to live a life in such a state. Its’ as to say yes this…

As noted, strategic decisions are inherently risky largely due to their long-term nature. This process seeks to mitigate those risks by removing ambiguity and replacing it with knowledge and clarity. And it is absolutely one of the reasons it remains such a highly prioritized activity in organizations of all sizes across the globe.

Historically, critics wouldn’t dare speak of fiction in the same breath they praise the fine arts – to even…

Rene Descartes’ Discourse on Method was written with the premise in mind that there is a sequential approach to guiding one’s reason in order to maximize certainty of knowledge and discovery. Using an autobiographical method, Descartes deliberately does not push his method upon the reader, nor frame it as the best and only method that exists. Using an explanatory model, and detailing his exact thought process throughout the Discourse, he allows the reader to follow him on his journey and decide…

The categorical imperative is too unforgiven to the subtleties of circumstance, which could result in dire, avoidable consequences, such as in the previous example. Contrastingly, a Kantian might…

from pure understanding and pure reason” (Kant, 266). In other words, Kant believes that metaphysics is comprised of nothing but a priori judgments. To further refine his claim, he outlines clear distinctions between two types of judgments: analytic judgments and synthetic judgments (Kant, 266). Analytic judgments are judgments that are “merely explicative, adding nothing to the content of the cognition” (Kant, 266). These types of judgments are made through pure reason, and they simply analyze…
