DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p>\n<p>Hume and Kant apparently have antipathetic \nconceptions of reason: Hume holds that reason can determine means but \nnever set ends\, Kant holds that reason alone can determine the necessary\n end for human beings. Are their conceptions really so different? In \nfact\, Hume posits that we have a calm passion to be reasonable\, and Kant\n too must presuppose an underlying commitment to be reasonable that \ncannot itself be derived from reason. The real difference between them \nlies in their conception of the value of being reasonable: for Hume\, it \nis to free ourselves from the turbulence of violent passions\, but for \nKant that negative conception of freedom is only part of a larger \nconception that includes the positive value of setting our own ends. \nTheir real difference thus lies not in their conceptions of the relation\n between reason and passion\, but in the value of reason itself.</p>
