Another keeper for later (HT to Paul Mason on Twitter)
“”What part of Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason didn’t you understand?”
Interesting that Blackburn’s recent lecture drew attention to the point in the title of Kant’s critique being against “Pure” reason – ie why would anyone expect enlightenment reason to be anything more than a new tool in the armoury of argumentation, justification and decision-making, rather than seeing any suggestion that some purer rationality could entirely replace established human decision-making reality. The servant of the passions, the emissary of the master.
