Absolute reason refers to the pre-industrial/ pre-enlightenment form of reason based on ideology, i.e. religion. The Enlightenment served to dispel mythology to an extent, as rationality shifted to serve man’s domination over nature, that is, instrumental rationality.
Hope that clears things up… and good luck.
Yes it does. Thank you. I enjoy your clear, coherent presentation of these authors.
Best,
Andrew

Hi Lochie,
I am a High School AP Government Student who is completing a research paper on Nuclear Disarmament and this essay really, really came in handy. I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do this.
Cheers from San Diego!
