Description

"It always remains a scandal of philosophy and universal human reason that the existence of things outside us ... should have to be assumed merely on faith, and that if it occurs to anyone to doubt it, we should be unable to answer him with a satisfactory proof," -- Kant.German-born philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804) was a central figure of modern philosophy and influential in metaphysics, epistemology and ethics. Kant argues that reason is the source of morality and human concepts structure our views and our laws. The Critique of Pure Reason aims to join reason and experience. Kant argues that the mind shapes and structures experience so that human experience shares structural features. Concepts of space and time, for example, are integral to all human experience. Kant argues that we do not have direct experience of things, rather we experience the world conveyed by our senses.
