Introduction / On Reason

Please use this site as a sort of other limb - for thoughts, links, video, art, reflections, questions, what have you.

A quote that made me think of many of the themes we'll be talking about in the course, and that we touched on today a bit:

 "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
- George Bernard Shaw

When you read Kant, think carefully about what he means by "Reason" and "Knowing." Did the "Enlightened Age" ever arrive?
