I have dedicated some time in studying Kant's work, and this is a subject that interests me. Maybe Rybo would like to continue on this subject here in the group. It would be interesting.
I do not invite Maria Odete, because we are work colleagues, and it really wouldn't make much sense in being here discussing these things with her online, we've worked on Kant together, and at that time we discussed these things thoroughly. Fresh perspectives coming from learned people are always important. 2009/2/10 maria odete madeira <[email protected]> > *You seem to be learned in the things that regard moral and ethics.
