Peterson [abstract] Kant’s main concern in his famous essay
on enlightenment is the relation between enlightenment and the
political order. His account of this relation turns on the idea of the
freedom of public reason. This paper develops a new interpretation of
Kant’s concept of public reason. First, it argues that Kant conceives
of public reasoning as a matter of speaking in one’s own name to the
commonwealth of the public. Second, it draws on Kant’s republican
conception of freedom in order to develop an account of the grounds of
the freedom of public reason. It argues that the state’s duty with
respect to public reason is an aspect of its duty to protect the
independence of citizens. Contrary to what is commonly thought, this
duty is not an obligation to refrain from interfering in the sphere of
public reason. The state may have a positive, though limited, role to
play in enlightenment.
