Immanuel Kant on the importance of freedom to scrutinise:
"Our age is the age of criticism, to which everything must be subjected.
The sacredness of religion, and the authority of legislation, are by many regarded as grounds of exemption from the examination of this tribunal.
But, if they are exempted, they become the subjects of just suspicion, and cannot lay claim to sincere respect, which reason accords only to that which has stood the test of a free and public examination."
