Avicenna believes that the prophet acquires knowledge but this acquisition “is not an uncritical reception [of this knowledge] merely on authority, but rather occurs in an order which includes the middle terms (reasoning). For beliefs accepted on authority concerning those things which are known only through their causes possess no intellectual certainty.

The Nineteenth Century is a time of radical changes in the political arena.

Which of the below is a statement that disagrees with Immanuel Kant's ideas?
Those who do not use the mind will always be open to the guidance of others. |
Enlightenment has provided an opportunity for man to use his own mind and in this way to emancipate him. |
The reason is the only way to bring humanity to reality. |
The individual does not have an area of unlimited freedom. |
The private sphere represents the obligations of people to other constituents of society and to political power. |
The fact that a person is not a mature person refers to the need for others to make decisions. According to Kant, this is the direct human guilt since those who do not use the mind will always be open to the guidance of others. In other words, a person cannot be free and will be under the guardianship of others.
Kant, however, opposed the idea that the reason was the only way to bring humanity to reality. On the contrary, the reason is not exempt from critical thinking.
On the other hand, according to Kant, the individual does not have an area of unlimited freedom. The individual has a certain moral obligation and must use his freedoms in this frame. Freedom has two different meanings as “private” and “public”. People can use their freedom as they wish. On the other hand, the unlimited freedom of people in the private sphere cannot be mentioned. According to Kant, the private sphere represents the obligations of people to other constituents of society and to political power. In this regard, an officer cannot criticize his superior or oppose a military commander.
