Question: This philosopher argued that the only way to exercise freedom is to act morally, because otherwise one's actions are bound by one's conditional desires. This thinker defined the title concept of one of his essays as "man's emergence from his self-imposed immaturity." He postulated that our senses perceive only phenomena and not noumena, so we can never truly know the "thing-in-itself." This author of "What is Enlightenment" argued that we should act only according to maxims that could be made universal law, which he called the "categorical imperative." For 10 points, name this German author of Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and Critique of Pure Reason.

Answer: Social Science


Question: sum of the squares of the reciprocals of this function evaluated at the nonnegative integers is equal to the modified Bessel function of the first kind at x=2. The Leviathan Number is found by evaluating this function at 10 to the 666th power. The rising type can be represented with the Pochhammer Symbol. Wilson's Theorem states that this function of any prime minus 1 is also congruent to -1 modulo that prime. Legendre's theorem provides a corollary to determine the number of (*) trailing zeroes of this function evaluated at nonnegative integers. When this function is evaluated at large numbers, Stirling's approximation is used. The gamma function extends this function to all complex numbers other than negative integers. For 10 points, name this function that, for positive integers n, is the product from 1 to n, and which is represented by an exclamation point.

Answer: Science


Question: of this thinker's works analyze what he dubs "the symbol sphere. " In one book, he compares that construct to the "status sphere," which is itself similar to a prior writer's idea of "stratification. " He put forth the idea that "role" connects the individual personality to the "orders" of society in that book, which he co-wrote with Hans Gerth. This author of (*) Character and Social Structure claimed that the "military metaphysic" and a "permanent war economy" were characteristics of the title group of another book. He blamed bureaucracy for stripping decision-making power from the middle classes. He also wrote pro-Communist works such as The Causes of World War Three and Listen, Yankee.
