Blogging our way to Enlightenment?

Bits of News - Blogging our way to Enlightenment?: "Kant's view of enlightenment depends upon what he calls a distinction between public and private reasoning. The reasoning that someone uses for their own work say the reasoning of a priest as he attempts to preach to his congregation, or the reasoning of a physician practising on his patient, or even the reasoning of a lawyer in a courtroom can all be defined as private reasoning- their end is domestic- the security of life is ultimately what lies at the core of why that person is reasoning in that way. Without their stipends, the priest, lawyer or physician would be unable to eat- consequently their reasoning is private and domestic in its telos."
