No, it is not purely semantic. The idea is indeed correct. Even while morality and politics are both a result of reason, I m trying to see this as a practical problem. Morality has to do with how things must be , politics with how things are .
Reason has to do with how things can be .
But nobody seems to care too much about reason. Lo posible sucumbiendo ante lo deseable. Lo posible sucumbiendo ante lo conveniente. On one extreme we have the romantic idealism of the opposition. That which is possible being defeated by what is desirable.
