important to take time and review our philosophical origins. We will examine critical philosophy which focuses on criteria supporting educational judgment. Idealism The point of idealism is to provide
extensive suggestion as to how to structure and control an organization. According to Rozycki(1999), What an idealistic philosophy requires is an imagination that stretches the original intents and statements
into broader or novel applications. Sometimes this imagination goes far beyond any reasonable interpretation. Indeed, deeply pious people may complain that the ideology of a church organization violates the essential
spirit of the prophetic teachings, as when they complain that teachers in their schools fail exercise forgiveness as often as they should. A key point here is that organizational demands
often substantially change the spirit of the original philosophy. Deep moral concerns may be lost in service of expediency. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) "Enlightenment is mans emergence from his self-imposed immaturity.
Immaturity is the inability to use ones understanding without guidance from another. This immaturity is self-imposed when its cause lies not in lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve
and courage to use it without guidance from another." This quotation comes from Kants 1784 essay "What is Enlightenment?" and thus was written while Kant was in the process of
working out the Critical philosophy. According to Bowman (1999), this quote articulates the chief motivation of the Critical philosophy: that is, the development of a system of human freedom, both
in theoretical and practical matters. Thus we are to accept only those beliefs found acceptable to reason; custom and authority are no court of appeal for theoretical matters. And we
are to lead lives in pursuit of autonomy in which the chief goal of human action is the realization and maximization of human freedom (understood as self-imposed lawful behavior).
