"Kant's philosophy allowed an appeal to the heart against the cold dictates of theoretical reason. . . .His principle that every man is to be regarded as an end in himself is a form of the doctrine of the Rights of Man; and his love of freedom is shown in his saying (about children as well as adults) that there can be nothing more dreadful than that the actions of a man should be subject to the will of another."
---Bertrand Russell
