PAPER

[sarah...@hotmail.com]

So the first part of the assignment says we should pick a philosopher and discuss what we are relating it to (futurama) than talk about how it relates to a philosopher. I think a good philosopher to relate futurama to would be Kant because i was there for that class and took notes. Here is a recap and i may not have all the points so correct me if im wrong. I dont get the public and private thing can some one help with that? maybe e mail the teacher for some clarity?

-What is enlightment?

imaturity is the inability to use ones understanding without guidance from another 

there would be no laws if people could think for them selves

he said "IIf I have a book that thinks for me, a pastor who acts as my conscience, a physician who prescribes my diet, and so on--then I have no need to exert myself."

says those thing inhibit thought ... but idk

knowledge =freedome 

 government is concerned, to release the human race from immaturity and to leave everyone free to use his own reason in all matters of conscience

thinking for your self is paramount

church and government are jsut a crutch so people do not have to think for them selves

he says some stuff im unclear on about public and private?? CAN SOME ONE ADDRESS THAT PART? 

says a revolution can over through a power hungry government but not give enlightment to the masses

IMMaturity

-is self imposed

-is inability to use understanding without guidance

-is because of lack of courage and resolve

-is because people are lazy and affraid

GUARDIANS

-those who supervise himanity

-they make the path out if immaturity hard by supressing peoples minds

PEOPLE NEED

ambition to learn

Judgment ?

objective truth (scientific method)
