Research Abstract |
This study considered Kant's thoughts on prejudice within the context of his time and, on this basis, examined their meaning in our contemporary world. Kant's concept of prejudice had been formed under the influence of and in confrontation with G. Fr. Meier, a disciple of the Wolffian school. But it was the 1780 Berlin Academy prize question (Is it useful for a nation to be deceived) that made him explicitly attentive to the importance of gradually overcoming prejudices through a public discussion. From this background, it can be adequately understood why Kant's contemporarily influential public use of reason has an ethical-political meaning.
