Modern History Sourcebook: Kant on Enlightenment, 1784
Complete text of this essay by Immanuel Kant.
Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another
Sapere aude! "Have courage to use your own reason!"- that is the motto of enlightenment
Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a portion of mankind, after nature has long since discharged them from external direction (naturaliter maiorennes), nevertheless remains under lifelong tutelage, and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians
He has come to be fond of his state, and he is for the present really incapable of making use of his reason, for no one has ever let him try it out
It is the freedom to make public use of one's reason at every point
Which restriction is an obstacle to enlightenment, and which is not an obstacle but a promoter of it? I answer: The public use of one's reason must always be free, and it alone can bring about enlightenment among men
The private use of reason, on the other hand, may often be very narrowly restricted without particularly hindering the progress of enlightenment

For that reason, Firefly's competitors in the collaborative filtering market say they don't feel threatened by the purchase
David Card, an analyst at Jupiter Communications, offers one reason why: 'This is rev three of their business plan
'That may be one reason for the valuation
For that reason, Firefly was one of the first companies to post a 'privacy policy' on its Web site, and the first to have its policies on handling personal information audited by Coopers & Lybrand
And also for that reason, Firefly over the last year began to focus more and more on profiling, and to dedicate less effort to its collaborative filtering software, according to sources

Krugman the Keynesian - Mises Institute
A critique of Paul Krugman from an Austrian School perspective.
  I admit to being a regular reader of Krugman's columns, and I suspect that many of my fellow economists on all sides of the ideological divide read him as well, which is one reason the Times has made him a featured star
Since the Church of Keynes preaches that saving by people who are wealthy is an important reason that aggregate demand dries up, upper-income individuals must always be heavily taxed so their money will be 'spent, ' not saved or invested in projects that fail to meet Krugman's approval
The reason for his harsh criticism is not just his political partisanship (although that is obvious in nearly everything he writes)
  The reason that I classify Krugman as a noneconomist, however, is not simply his faith in Keynesian orthodoxy
Of course, the use of cardinal utility permits economists to present economic theory in mathematical terms through multivariable calculus, which is one reason that it remains in use as an explanatory tool even though it is thoroughly bogus
BLESS THE BEASTS CANINE PLACEMENT PROGRAM
Foster organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of displaced dogs.
Adoption application and contract, pictures of available pets, Doggy Heimlich and ...
There is no reason to start this cycle again each spring
We are no-kill, but for that reason, we do not take anything and everything
While we would love to be able to help every dog at risk--including those whose people have decided for one reason or another they no longer fit into their lives, that is just not the case
We are primarily a small-dog Rescue for the same reason--lack of space and volunteers.
There is also the consideration of the medical and general care for those dogs that will never be adopted due to their age or major problems that make them undesirable for one reason or another
The reason we ask for references is because we plan to call them
It is often a difficult transition for many of the dogs, so we ask you come to them in order to spend a reasonable amount of time making them feel comfortable in going with you
For this reason, we do not show dogs without an approved application, except at PETCO or other scheduled adoption fairs

Interview with Robert Bly
1997 interview with the poet about various aspects of the writing journey.
The mind is always tempted to take up a superior position in relation to beings — such as caterpillars or clams — who are without reason
He offers the French dictionary instead of the unconscious! We could say that when he wants to escape reason, he turns to the dictionary because it carefully preserves the ancient, biological, mysterious history of every word
RB : We make a good pair for that reason
PJ : Do you think that prose poetry more than verse poetry allows for the leaps we ve been speaking about? RB : I think a lot about the word 'safety.' One reason I couldn't write as well when I was twenty-five as I can now is that I didn't feel as safe then

20th WCP: Environmental Destruction: A Philosophical ... Article by E. Meinberg examining the ecological crisis through the application
of philosophical anthropology. From the Paideia Project.
According to the critics of anthropology the reason for the support of "anthropocentrism" by the philosophical anthropology can be seen in the fact that she has tried from its very beginning on to compare mankind with other creatures — even with plants — only to assign mankind both an uncomparable position and glorification in the whole of the beings
This point of view became practical in the ecological crisis then and is one reason among others for the overexploitation of all non — human things
The morality of "Homo Oecologicus" can be regarded as an " ethics of co-existence, " because of the simple reason that the life of an individual always requires the existence of other human beings
It is commonly held that one reason for the dramatic growth of population can be seen in the overpopulation which is itself a result of sexual practices which differ from culture to culture.The experiences of the ecological crisis teach us that reproduction is definitly not riskless — on the contrary, it can be contraproductive against mankind

Information about the Parthenon, including the history of the stolen Marbles and
discussion about their return to Greece.
We used some of the reasons for and against returning the marbles to Athens in our debate
One reason is that in Athens there is too much pollution, which would make the buildings crumble
One reason is that Lord Elgin stole the frieze from the Parthenon by sawing them off and badly damaging the structure
One reason is that Elgin stole the Parthenon Marbles by sawing off the frieze
One reason is that Lord Elgin stole half of the frieze without permission
One reason is that Lord Elgin was told he could take what he wanted off the ground
One reason is that Lord Elgin stole the Parthenon frieze
One reason is that Lord Elgin stole the marbles
Marisol: Now children we have discussed the reasons why the Greek government want the Elgin Marbles back that are now in the British Museum
Marisol: Shikara can you give us one of the reasons why some people want the marbles to stay in London
Some of our reasons were: a) That tourism is very important to Greece and the tourists who have travelled from all over the world should be able to see The Marbles in the country they came from

On several occasions, students asked me the following question: Should they believe the president of the United States? My answer was that they should give the President the benefit of the doubt, for several reasons deriving from the usual procedures that have operated in every modern White House and that, I assumed, had to be operating in the Bush White House, too

Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, during an interview with Sam Tannenhaus of Vanity Fair magazine, said: 'The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S
government bureaucracy we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason.' More recently, Wolfowitz added what most have believed all along, that the reason we went after Iraq is that '[t]he country swims on a sea of oil.' Worse than Watergate? A potential huge scandal if WMDs are still missing Krugman is right to suggest a possible comparison to Watergate

Review/ratings of 5 free Macintosh chess programs: Sigma Chess(Excellent),

If you try SigmaChess for only one reason, do it for the 3D feature, which takes over your entire screen and lets you look down at the board just as you would in real life
It’s a matter of personal preference, and hardly a reason not to try this solid and stable program that has enough features to challenge advanced players, but also enough simplicity to let novices jump right in
ChessWorks has only one reason for existence, and it’s network play over the Internet

The Enlightenment
An article about the history and heritage of the movement, covering England,
America and the struggle in Europe.
They believed that human reason could be used to combat ignorance, superstition, and tyranny and to build a better world
Because knowledge depends on evidence and reason, arbitrary authority can only be its enemy
The 17th Century René Descartes, in the 17th century, attempted to use reason as the schoolmen had, to shore up his faith; but much more rigorously than had been attempted before
From there he attempted to reason his way to a complete defense of Christianity, but to do so he committed so many logical faults that his successors over the centuries were to slowly disintegrate his gains, even finally challenging the notion of selfhood with which he had begun
To be sure, logic alone could be used to defend all sorts of absurd notions; and Enlightenment thinkers insisted on combining it with something they called "reason" which consisted of common sense, observation, and their own unacknowledged prejudices in favor of skepticism and freedom
The Church insisted that it was the only source of truth, that all who lived outside its bounds were damned, while it was apparent to any reasonably sophisticated person that most human beings on earth were not and had never been Christians--yet they had built great and inspiring civilizations

(This is like out of Brahms’ biography, you know.) A kind of aversion developed and I think that’s one reason Lee didn’t become a pop composer
But I think the reason I don’t like popular music too well (except for and a few others) is because I played it so badly
I think the reason is because at Mills my roommate and I would go down to the practice rooms below the music hall and read through Schubert songs until practically dawn
