Resumen
RUFFING, MARGIT. "THINKING FOR ONESELF" AND "PUBLICITY". Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, suppl.1, pp.73-84. ISSN 0120-0062.
"Thinking for oneself" and "publicity" are characteristic traits of the Enlightenment since they vindicate the use of reason by relating it to the "progress" of both the individual and society. According to Kant, the development of man's cognitive-rational capacity is but one aspect of "thinking for oneself". The fact that reason is developed as the awareness of the moral capacity entails the need of thinking "beyond oneself". Thus, "thinking for oneself" opens up the possibility of comprehensive judgment as a capacity aimed at the "community", both in the sense of a formal category of logical judgment and of the rational idea of an ideal republic.
