<span>Dante Alighieri and the age of the High Middle Ages, where he wrote Inferno, is a time where he wrote about that the Universe is created by God. His general idea is to reeducate ourselves heeding about hell. For Immanuel Kant, in Enlightenment, he calls for taking responsibility for our own actions. Meaning you are doing something because you choose to do so. </span>

 Immanuel Kant's purpose is defining enlightenment and to make people aware that laziness and cowardice is the hindrance towards goodness. He campaigns that we should be responsible for our own actions. As Kant said, "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage." In other words, enlightenment is one's rise from self-immaturity. On the other hand, Dante Alighieri wrote Inferno to make people realize what are the consequences of sinfulness on earth and that afterlife exists with either eternal happiness or punishment. Dante also reimagines the mysteries of the afterlife through the 9 circles of hell and that the graveness of sin has a corresponding circle or punishment.

The meadow which was covered with yellow, blue and white flowers was a beautiful sight. The native grasses were thriving because the whole area, barring only the pasture had become a registered nature reserve. In fact, it was so pretty that i tried to take a picture, but when i saw that, my phone battery had died. Disappointed, i walked back to the hotel to recharge it.

Sonbull [250]
"And on the point now in question seems to be altogether blind and babbling" seems to sum up the opinion of the ancient Greeks and their studies of processes like the motion of matter perhaps because at that time of history of the classical learning much of it was based on pure speculation without going out and getting one's hands dirty and really perceiving phenomena with one's 5  senses as Georgius Agricola did in going down in underground mines to find out firsthand how mining was carried out.
