to leadership "first, his theory emphasizes the fact that no one is an exception to moral laws. Second, his theory makes us think about situations in which leaders must act on strongly held beliefs or duty duties that are not their own interest. Third, he says that we should never use people. And finally, he says that everyone, no matter who they are, should be both the legislator and the follower of moral laws in what Kant calls "this kingdom of ends." (p.95). However, in Kant’s theory, we can…

basic intention in this section of the text is to describe why reason should not go beyond its already well-established limits. In the first section, he presents the discipline of pure reason in the sphere of dogmatism, Kant clearly explains why philosophy cannot do what mathematics can do in spite of their similarities. Kant also explains that when reason goes beyond its own limits, it becomes dogmatic. For Kant, the limits of reason lie in the field of experience as, after all, all knowledge…
